LOL, actually the Little women has fifty angus cows, she let’s me pet one now and then. But I was up in indiana a while back and was shocked at the number of cattle barns and pins falling down, but every sq inch of land around them was set to plant more corn. It came to me these turkeys are renting their land and collecting their government checks instead of working. And since the republican don’t have the stones to kill the program, I thought a weaning process may work.

What you obviously don’t know is that the farmers are less and less dependant on “The Cheap Food for Consumers Programs”, most often referred to as “The Farm Subsidies Program”. They are less dependant on the subsidies than they have been in decades.

And the working farmers are liking it. Consumers aren’t particularly happy, but the farmers are, they are finally getting a fair return for their labor, investment, and their risk taking.
