So let me get this straight.
Ice cream joey wants to take the money he takes from me and give it to meat farmers to lower the price I pay for meat at the store.
$1 billion to be exact. That is 1,000 million dollar bills.
Yes, folks. This is how farm subsidies work. The gubmint acts as a go between to give the farmers your money to keep your prices low.
Kind of hard to wrap your head around that one and splain it to where it makes any sense.
I understand farmers lose crops to various things and need help from time to time. However, taking my money to give to farmers to keep my perceived prices lower at the grocery store only gives the politician power to look like the savior of farmers and consumers. It is such a sham.
I hear circus music.
How many lies will people believe before they realize their own idiocy?

I haven’t heard that but I hope they don’t do it. They have tried this over and over and it never works. One of the greatest Presidents ever Ronolds Maximas found that out with the CRP program. If I remember right from my Ag Econ class in college. A farmer that had 100 acres of land and put 50 into CRP raised more on the 50 then he used to on the 100!! There isn’t much of a free market left but it needs left alone. Is he to stupid to understand that throwing money at people is why inflation is through the roof or he is trying to make it worse?

It's about buying control which equals power later on Brad.

The four largest meat packers are in control of roughly 85% of the market. Their dominance has allowed them to extinguish competition. The cattleman isn’t the one making the money, it’s the packers. Look up an see how many ranches China owns. Could be the reason to send money to the “meat farmers” And once again, government goes to a solution that doesnt address the problem. Whole thing reminds me of the “free college” bologna. We all know college costs a ridiculous amount of money for what you get. But giving it away “free” doesn’t address the problem. We know what the “problem” is in the beef industry.

If the Gubment will pay farmers NOT to grow crops,,I wonder if they will pay me NOT to trap?? Careful Upstate, they might go for that idea and take more of your's and my money to pay you not to trap, but then pay others to trap...

This subject gets me to upset so I'll say one more thing and then shut up.
Sustainability is the biggest buzz word in agriculture. How Sustainable are we really when we are always "needing" government $. Ag groups don't want less help they are constantly lobbying for more aid. Exactly and now every farm magazine I get in the mail has a couple articles on carbon credits or environmental crap. National Corn Growers and groups like them spend most of their time with their hands out hoping big brother fills them up.

Look up an see how many ranches China owns. Could be the reason to send money to the “meat farmers” You’re right about the packers making the money, that’s for sure. The same problem exists here. China’s percentage of US land ownership is almost immeasurable in terms of %, it’s less than what European nations and even us pesky Canadians own there. However, it shouldn’t be allowed to happen, there, or anywhere.
