Don't complain with your mouth full !!!!!

Someone is raiding the liquor cabinet.

Nate,
Dont look up how much each US farmer gets annually in government subsidies.

...hint: search agricultural subsidies....

Each farmer and how much he/she received is listed by state...county..

Here ya go:

Nate I hope you hunt and trap on public land because after all the farmers read this you won't be welcome on their land. Just saying

I’ve never seen a lazy farmer. If they aren’t planting, fertilizing, irrigating, doing weed or pest control, harvesting, or trucking crops, they’re fixing the equipment they broke while they were doing it. Besides marketing their crops, managing a crop schedule, overseeing labor, buying parts, seed, etc.

Anyone who thinks farmers are lazy, never ran a farm or even worked for one. The subsidies they get keeps the cost to you down at the grocery store. They couldn’t afford to grow crops at today’s prices without them.

Love how ppl think it's all sitting on a tractor.....I work (for a farm/ranch). ....so please tell me more about how I don't bust my feeding cattle at first light after I take my kids to school in town an run my line to turn around and make sure maintenance is up on all machinery cause it grease/change oil/ operates around idiots in to big of a hurry on the Rd all by itself...... an that's the slow time I'd the yr. Just to feed folks like the op who don't appreciate the food at their fingertips. Have a lil respect. Farmers are needed big and small

Appreciate that

Several different programs listed under the ag assistance program including product subsidies, disaster payments, and conservation payments.

In 25 years, approx 1/3 of Ga farmers received payments. Nearly 10 billion $$.

I grew up working on farm surrounded by other farms and I have never known any of them to be lazy. Another thing is anyone that thinks setting on a tractor from day light to dark is easy has never done it. IMO.

Farmers around here start harvest at 2 am, cause that’s when temp and humidity are right. Then when it gets too hot to harvest they get on a rake and rake what they harvested the day before. When that’s done they get on the baler and bale what they raked the day before. Then if they’re lucky they get in bed by ten or eleven after dealing with whatever needs fixing to be ready for tomorrow, to get up at 1 am to be in the field again at 2am. No lunch breaks. No osha mandated 15 minute breaks every two hours. They work from well before sunup to well after sundown. When I was on the farm I worked 12 hour days, 15 days on and one day off all summer long and my only job was irrigation.

Farmers have to be good business managers or they wont last long....

Exactly Hoyt. Running a tractor isn’t just sitting behind a steering wheel. It’s exhausting, not to mention hard on your back.

i am sure glade we have farmers to keep those who cant or dont have thier own gardens fed.

I wish our farmers were lazier. With these mild winters they are waging war on anything made of wood. Grown up fencerows, wooded ditches, woodlots and old barns are all being wiped out. Have to keep the grassy ditch banks mowed like a golf course too.

Wow! Wish I hadn’t looked. But it does explain the nice houses they have and the houses their college going kids with no jobs are building. Four brothers who farm together and over $8 million in subsidies goes a long way I guess.

Wanna be, you really have no idea how much it costs to operate a farm, do you?

No sir I do not. But I do know what nice houses, fancy Ford Raptors, and those fancy John Deere’s they drive cost. I know when in public, they pull out a WAD of $100’s and pay for everything in cash. I know they can fly folks out to Las Vegas for their daughter wedding.
So...please enlighten me on what it cost to operate a farm

I raise my own,so thanks but know thanks.
