I look at it this way. We get our eggs for free paid by you, the taxpayers. The Government covers 60% of our crop insurance ranging from $17-50 per acre (160 acres) depending on coverage. For the really retarded, that can cover livestock also.
That money covers my avocado toast also!![]()
( $3.49 for one large avocado)
Now quit complaining and get back to work to put money in my pocket.

"Moron" it is, then.
Facts direct a brain to mind social consensus life isn't self evident time simply adapting forward now. Societal laws ordering compliance to social consensus doesn't tolerate anyone explaining how compounding chromosomes work in plain sight in any reality serving humanity's tomorrows 7 days a week dawn to dusk each rotation of the planet added so far.
That may very well end up being the case but do we really want to expose our food supply to the perils of mother nature? A couple of bad seasons can wipe out a farm fairly easy. We don't abuse the system, only want to cover expenses and a small profit. Wheat crop was a bust last year, Milo did great. We depend on mother nature to supply the water and she can be a little bitchy at times.LowIQTrash » 04 Mar 2025, 7:56 pm » wrote: ↑ But Elon told us DOGE was going to cut out this type of "waste"
It appears green subsidies have been determined to be waste also. We were getting paid by Enel Energy for the last 3 years for speculation of a solar farm. We would sell them 20 acres and pave the other 140 acres with solar panels. Had a good chance as transmission lines go across out property from wind turbines.LowIQTrash » 04 Mar 2025, 7:56 pm » wrote: ↑ But Elon told us DOGE was going to cut out this type of "waste"

Enel pulled the contract due to the current political environment. Trump is not exactly my friend right now. Long term that deal could have been worth a couple million dollars.
AOC for President! :ninja:

Humanity is destroying this species inside out every generation gap added so far with ideas "Great minds save souls believing now isn't eternity as genetics only exist adapting each sole brain forward now.".
"Illiterate" it is, then.
No it is not a dog eats dog world. Dogs work in a pack mentality, most type of cats don't live in prides. There are predators, prey, scavengers in plant and animal kingdoms of streaming DNA results never same chromosomes added twice every generation gap forward into current numbers occupying time 24/7.Fuelman » 05 Mar 2025, 9:28 am » wrote: ↑ It's a dog eat dog world ohm.

I was a little surprised by how few small farmers actually purchase crop insurance. Premiums have gone up and even with the subsidy can be an expense small operations can't handle. Yes, big AG surely gets the lions share of those subsidies.
https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/ ... tId=109049
About 13 percent of U.S. farms participated in Federal crop insurance programs in 2022, with the highest share of participants coming from small family farms. The four types of small family farms (retirement, off-farm occupation, low sales, and moderate sales) accounted for 54 percent of the participants in Federal crop insurance programs and received 12 percent of the insurance payments. Small family farms harvested 26 percent of all cropland acres. On the other hand, midsize and large-scale family farm operators accounted for a slightly lower proportion of Federal crop insurance participants (42 percent) but harvested a majority of the U.S. cropland acres (67 percent) and received 80 percent of payments from Federal crop insurance. Larger farms like these account for 46 percent of agricultural acres operated in 2022. Researchers with USDA, Economic Research Service examined survey data and found that participation rates varied widely across commodity production. In 2022, 62 percent of farms producing row crops (cotton, corn, soybeans, wheat, peanuts, rice, and sorghum) purchased Federal crop insurance, while 9 percent of farms growing specialty crops, such as fruits, vegetables, and nursery crops, did the same. This chart appears in America’s Farms and Ranches at a Glance, published December 2023

Second, it seems like another case of, "It's ok if I get some subsidies but undeserving groups like [A, B, C] shouldn't."
And before you ask, no, I don't want to fund transgenderism in mice "studies," but at the same time I doubt having some inspectors to make sure our water supply isn't tainted with raw sewage is a "waste of money" (as the Muskrat himself might claim)

I'm sure you have met a few people that are never ending pessimists, those people are miserable **** and I try not to be that person.
It's a futile endeavor to try and figure out what is fair on who gets what. I'm pretty sure life isn't fair. A $2 trillion deficit demands something be done. The DOGE sledge hammer probably isn't the best method but the normal procedure just isn't an option cause it will never happen.
