wah ha ha! dont recieve subsidies what a crock!guess folks dont know all grain prices in the US are propped up by subsidies.every bushel of grain sold in the us has a percentage of the price guaranteed by the gov.help the small farmer if subsidies go away? are you folks serious?you have the exact advantage any other large farmer does,to buy more land to farm,so you can make more money to buy more land to farm etc,etc,etc..simple fact of farming or ranching,you want to make more you have to grow.cant farm 200 acres forever and expectto make the same money as a person(or corporation)that farms 10,000 acres.the top 10% get subsidy payments direct from the gov simply because the local elevators cant afford to pay it,the simply dont have the money.while the smaller operator who sells his 200 acre crop gets his from the elevator. would it make a difference to farming?yes,but it would hurt the small operator more than the big one.why?simply because the top 10% of producers produce about 80% of the total crops produced.they have the clout and the wherewithall to market their crops globally.a small farmer in lots of cases has to take what he can get .or he simply cant stay in buisness. check the developing competition in other countries for our crops..without FAIL you will find that the recent influence of those countries is directly related to their govs starting to pay subsidies,,,,for the first time those farmers have the ability to make money farming.they also have a willing workforce ready to exploit the chance!!! heres the true skinny on subsidies,and the USDA,total budget of the USDA is like 1% of the US budget. 70% of this money goes DIRECTLY to nutrition assistance.school meals,food stamps etc,, 17% goes to farm and commodity programs 7% goes to conservation and forestry 6% goes to all others.
