Isn't this welfare?
Yes it is...
And my 180 acres in Texas should bring in a nice little chunk of change and I'm not even a farmer, just a land owner. Now we get free stuff from Trump.
Capitalism twisted into a most obscene shape eh? Thanks GOP!!!
Democrats started farm subsidies. This is intended as a short term stop-gap. So if you hate farm subsidies blame Democrats.

sometimes I think you and I are the only folks here that really consider just how destructive American farming practices have become.

Where did you get the idea that I hate farm subsidies. I'm a beneficiary with my Texas 1/4 section; actually a little bigger 180acres. I don't care who started the subsidies; it's the GOP in control now and I'll take all the money they want to give me and so will the other 1k farmers in my county.
This farm has been in my family for 100+ years, and now it's mine, I'm familiar with subsides, soil banks, oil and gas leases,
ARC, PLC, conservation subsidies, Disaster aid, the government even pays for my crop insurance in case of hail, flood or drought, etc. And I'm just small fry, can you imagine what the Corporate farms rake in from the taxpayer.
Doin business the American way....MAGA MAGA and trump isn't about to change the SOP. He's basically bribing the farmers with this subsidy and I'm fine with it....I too read "Art of the Deal"
So in between posting on ats about your serious bank roll from your sag card and filming chupracabra films you also find the time to fail at farming and receive government handouts? Do tell how a successful and wealthy person that you have portrayed on these boards should receive government subsidies.
Why should I turn down money to help in the conservation and development of MY farm? The oil companies get government subsidies to develop oil and gas wells on my farm.
No i am not jealous but confused cause you have posted against welfare in the pastas far as i can remember. What about pride?

So I don't see how doesn't count as welfare. Can someone explain that to me? We are basically paying farmers to not farm. How is that not welfare?
Its mostly white people that’s why they don’t call it welfare
When most of the farmers are black, or Hispanic, then it will be welfare

Now you are getting personal. But I cop to the accusation, I'm just a redneck trying to get by....
Don't blame me, it's the GOP giving away taxpayer dollars this time. Usually they favor the oil companies and war profiteers, that make obscene profits and now with my oil and gas leases, I'll get a little of that as well.
I thank the good Lord every night for being blessed with good fortune.

And what percentage of the workers that work for farmers are dark skinned that also benefit?
I swear you guys on the left are starting to sound more and more racist with every passing year trump is in office, getting back to your roots are we?
Most farmers are in now way millionaires
