Some years you get them and some years you don’t. If I farmed for subsidies I’d be broke in a year. Over the last 5 years I couldn’t pay 2 employees a year with either PLC or ARC payments from the FSA. In those same 5 years we paid around 650K in property taxes. Get rid of them for all I care. I hate being looked at as having my hand out.

Pawnee, one of my best friends was one of two sons. When his father passed his brother and him tried to make a go out of the half section they were raised on and rented ground. They knew it would be tough so they worked from sun up until after dark and didnt even observe the sabbath. After 2 yrs my friend left home and told his brother if you can make it your a better man than I am.

He had checked and doctored pasture cattle, back grounded a pot load or two, fattened pigs on 3 day old bread the bakery would sell him for a few dollars a ton, and said those 2 years he a d his brother's taxable income was 32k average. He is now 55 and still does the same work but as a paid man because he owns only the rig he pulls his horses in and the saddles he sits.

He is the most skilled and hardest working man I know and we both know he probably isnt even exaggerating

LL I am sorry to see all the little farmer & cow man go .Those are the most interesting characters . Unfortunately most seem to wind up on a big outfit and they mostly have no time to call their own (Sunday morning phone rings " Oscar the bulls are out on the county road headed for the neighbors place .)

That's my ol buddy Howard to a Tee. Im betting Big Shane and Yessir probably know him but I knew him back when he tried to separate 2 shod cabios and wore a patch over one eye for about 10 years. He could get cow kilt and make jokes while the paramedics put him on a back board
