That would be the landowners, who are often legislators.

I know even after we'd converted all our crop land to cattle we were still receiving 14K for some land we still had rice base on...and that's peanuts compared to some cases. Ours was only 100 acres.

I'd love to know what percentage of costs some people think subsidies cover. Just to get a gauge on how much they know or don't know about the business side of it.

FWIW just about all farmers can handle losing the subsidies. Landowners might get upset though. Land prices are the easiest to manipulate in order to adjust for losing subsidies.


eta: This thread took a predictable turn, and, of course, I have nothing to contribute to the original question.

C'Mon Jay, gubmint cheese is OK as long as it is directed to giant agribusiness, corporations, the health care industry and shithole countries that hate us. It's only bad when given to the poors. Don't bring that hippie Kalifornia libruhlism onto the OB!

If they are the same, you're right. Welfare is welfare.
