[QUOTE="novatech, post: 853297, member: 5494"] People are people. Being a rancher does not mean they will not take advantage of government aid. I know plenty that have used it for buying hay and replanting pastures. I also know ranchers that continue to exist only because of the well heads that exist in pastures they inherited from family, not through any of there own efforts. This drought coupled with the economy will cause many ranchers to fold, including those that have been under one family for many generations. If they could take advantage of government aid to be able to continue I would personally pat them on the back. They are not the ones taking illegitimate money. When these ranches fail someone with deep pockets will come along and purchase them. They put on a cowboy hat and call themselves ranchers. I have always made it without aid but I do not judge others for doing so. [b]Until I have walked in their shoes I don't have the right.[/b] PS. I have seen both sides of that farmer/rancher occupation. I can tell you for a fact that most farmers work 10 times harder to put food in front of you and your cows than ranchers do to produce meat.
