.."I would go and apply, and it would take about two to three weeks," says Obregon. "Then they would turn me down, say it was a high risk crop or different reasons. But it was always, 'No.' Then I would appeal, and it would take 90 to 120 days, and by then my planting season was over."

Why would you want to farm in a way that requires loans from the government to be able to continue? It's not a good idea. Answer(?)- it puts the risk on the taxpayer. The taxpayer gets caught holding the bag when the farmer defaults on the loan? No wonder Dad never made any money on the farm. He absorbed all the risk.

Maybe I can sue for risk reparations.

That’s right. Farming is risky business, period. No way around it unless you make reality into a grievance. Bunch of crybabies.
