I read of milk farmers dumping milk when prices were too low.
It happens from time to time. Been happening as long as I remember.
My guess is you don’t know much about commercial farming.
The government has been telling farmers to destroy their crops for decades. I never understood it.
Sure. I’m 71 and it’s been happening as long as I’ve been alive.
USA has a long history of government paying farmers to destroy crops.
The people on the video’s were farmers and they seem to think it was unusual. They are predicting food shortages this winter.
I’m 71 and have been in horticulture/agriculture for 35yrs, after a previous career, and leaving ground fallow is a common gov’t-mandated farming practice; getting paid to do it bothers me when the world and now America, needs the grain and food..
This story is total bs and has already been debunked.
I come from a farming background and the govt has never paid farmers to destroy crops.they have paid farmers for not growing crops
They've been oiling roads since before I was born. Usually dirt and gravel roads.
It isn’t Biden, He can’t take an aspirin without a team of experts, and a swallowing coach. It is the #JihadJunta!
I suspect that the reality it this is, is video of farmers cutting silage and road crews in rural counties are chip n and sealing the roads
I see both of these things every year
Diana has her finger on the farmer’s pulse.
Maybe she can answer that.
yup for decades it’s been going on. Glad yur noticing now.
So you believe everything from tic tok videos? I’m embarrassed for you
The federal government: destroying crops since the 1930s (Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA).
Back in the 80s I remember my grandparents getting a check every year for not growing tobacco on property in NC that they hadn’t farmed for 30 years.
Happens all the time. Big AG and fedgov are insane and interlocked. FedGov(TAXPAYERS) pays farmers to grow a certain crop and if it ends up not being needed, they tell them to just burn it.
Sorry, we don’t need any more ethanol corn this year but we(TAXPAYERS) will still pay you for it.
I farmed for ten years. I never knew of any program paying to destroy crops. CRP plans pay you to take acreage out of production and you are not allowed to plant or graze it. Every farm has a plan for crop rotation and certain acreage is locked in on beans, corn, wheat, alfalfa, etc.... and some in CRP.
So they pay you to not plant crops, but not to destroy them.
Gov pays farmers to not plant on some of their land... leave land idle.. A friend said it would not work out well to have the land and not plant for food.
