I don't know many people who get up before dawn to feed the livestock and don't come to the house before sunset. Farming is a challenging unforgiving endeavor. I'm not completely confortable with the subsidies given. But I wouldn't be entirely comfortable if none were given either.

Note the subsidies given in foreign nations. It should also be noted what import/export fees are charged. Once again we come in on the business end of the farm broom handle. Folks, for all the talk, has anyone seen any evidence of FreeTrade? Our products suffer the highest import fees with other nations time and time again. Frankly this FreeTrade fraud has been the biggest heist in the history of the planet.

Yeah, that Ted Turner, Scotty Pippen, and Sam Donaldson sure do sweat for their subsidies, don't they? What kind of crap is this! You notice that this piece is written by a lobbyist for the corn growers association, the same lovable people who want to force ethanol on all of us.

Most of this money goes to big agribusinesses, and the proof of that is that our weasel politicians couldn't even put a cap on the maximaum payments. It would be better for the taxpayers and the farmers to pay some of them to just get out of the business altogether. As long as the government is involved in screwing up the market, things will only get worse for all of us.
