I think when Congress thinks about farming they think about corn and beans.

The money is going to be spent on new pickup trucks, farm equipment, and property taxes. At least that is how it works in my small part of Minnesota. Farms are bigger it is true, but most of the corporate farming is partnerships of area farm families who have been here for decades.

I think Congress thinks very diffently about farming. I think that they know exactly where the money goes. There are far too many lobbies stroking them to be unaware in any way.

Fuel, chemicals, seed, and equipment.

Yes, there are a lot of farm families joining together. No, they are not MOST of corporate farming. Perhaps they are in your county.
