Most of my years I never carried fedweral crop insurance. I did not farm in the desert. I farmed prime iowa farmland where it usually produces well. A bigger threat was the all mighty god throwing a hail storm at us. I will admit receiving subsidies as did most corn and soybean farmers.
I do beleive I would have survived without them. BTW I didn't write ag policy nor did I lobby for any legislation. Did I benefit from them, indeed I did.
Which poses the question. Are You a farmer? have you received farm subsidies? You must be amerchant on main street, that disrespects his farmer customers?
Just what is your axe to grind> Btw there are good odds that in the next 2 decades that 25 % of existing farmers will be gone and that will happen with a good or great farm economy.
