Fabs, the government money in farming would scare any taxpayer. BUT, it costs the farmer a lot of money also. A few years ago some brilliant congressman got the idea to give us dairy farmers a pay raise. Gave us .25 cents/100, and to pay for it, charged us .50 cents, but all could say they voted us a raise. Did you know we import corn and soybeans? Yep, it can be stacked outside and no where at the elevators to store it but we keep bringing more in. Did you know we import beef from japan? Why? good question. I`ve heard one guy say about the budget, "a couple billion here and a couple billion there and pretty soon you`re talkin` about a lot of money", just makes one shake their head.
