Doesn’t help the normal farmers around me. Only the huge agri-conglomerate farms.
Most of our corn is feed, silage, etc.
Many of the farmers around me are beneficiaries of federal farm subsidies and other government goodies. They get numerous tax breaks, both at the state and local level. We have water issues with the Ogallala aquifer, including legal issues with Kansas, yet these dumbasses continue to drill more irrigation pivot wells for the ethanol corn they grow. These people are stupid beyond description. Most Americans believe that farmers are all chalk-full of common sense insight. That’s BS!
Most of the ones I’ve met are self-centered jerks, who think themselves God’s gift to humanity, and therefore deserving of all manner of special treatment - while they simultaneously bitch about the welfare state! The ironic hypocrisy of their position escapes them in the most stunning display of cognitive dissonance I have ever witnessed!
