I am a 6th generation farmer. 100% of my income comes from farming.

It saddens me to hear other famers say they cant make it without government subsudies.

I get very little subsudies compared to most because I mainly raise hay, for which there are no subsudies.

I do just fine.


Subsudies only help non-farmer ownership, and allow old folks to hang onto land much longer than they should, not allowing the farmers that work the land a chance at ownership....this is very bad for agriculture as a whole.
