Would be like the govt does something to lower hourly wages by 1/3. Then they have to spend more on food stamps to make up for it.... Even if you have a good hourly wage job, you'd be kinda upset about it & looking for the govt to make it right again... Same deal with the govt ag programs. --->Paul [Reply]   [No Email]

My Grandfather, Dad, Uncles, Brothers, Cousins, Myself and now my Sons all currently or formerly farmed and not one of us ever signed up on any program whatsoever, consequently, no one can tell me what to grow or not to grow on my land just as they could not tell my Dad or GrandFather.

Where I live, they count my cattle, my 'huge' 25-33 head grazing heard needs to be permitted every 4 years. I can't plant certain areas that were deemed wetlands in the 1980's. I need permits to drain any part of the farm. I need paperwork and monthly inspections if I store more than 1320 gallons of petro. I need permits to store granular fertilizer or a certain amount of liquid fertilizers. This is outside of the farm program, applies to you as well, so don't think if you stay out of the program, you are outside of the govt. They are sending up drones in the Dakotas to enforce these regulations. Other states are waiting to join in with the drones, big brother is watching. I'm with you, I agree, but - they make the rules, you are not so insulated from them as you think. It only gets worse. --->Paul [Reply]  [No Email]
