I know wheat farmers who haven't raised a crop in over a decade, and yet get hundreds of thousands of dollars to do "NOTHING" but pick up their "welfare" checks! They drive expensive cars, have nice homes, and complain all the time about people who "don't work" and yet get "welfare checks" from the government! Now this is just plain wrong and needs to be stopped, period!
If a person farms and has a bad year because of natural disasters, then I have no problem seeing them get help, but way to many people are now simply working the system who don't deserve all the money they get from the government, especially the huge agra farms owned by huge corporations. I say end them all and re work the program so that only those who actually work their farms are getting subsidies when they "really" need them!
Go to this site and find out who in your state are getting subsidies!
