If you ever have a discussion about this with a Nebraska corn farmer, you will discover they are all in for this crap - as long as they continue to get their price-fixing guarantee as part of the deal. So, yes, I sure as hell can and do blame the AG states. Because it’s a general mentality, instilled in them by FDR, and persisting over generations, that farmers are deserving of some special consideration which no other American worker is availed. Nobody guarantees my wage. If farmers cannot accept the risk of their chosen vocation, then they need to get the hell out of it. I’m tired of subsidizing their livelihood.

You don’t need to tell me about Nebraska corn farmers, I grew up the son of a cattleman and still live in north Missouri. Why don’t you focus on the 800B food stamps etc? That was my point, when it is called a farm bill, the farm subsidies are front and center, they should be separate bills, then neither would pass. What it’s really all about is that throwing the welfare into a farm bill guarantees ag state conservatives will be forced to vote for it. I can hardly be pissed at a farmer for wanting something passed that helps his income, but I can get pissed for adding 800B to a 40B bill just to use the name farm bill. Be mad about the big things, not hating farmers.
