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.
There is no hay market around here anymore except for horses. Then that hast to be the best hay or they won't buy. Used to have the largest cattle farm in the county while growing up. Now your lucky to see one.
