Did we figure out if I was a scumbag if I enter some property into CRP/WRP?
Define scumbag.
You are no different than a farmer taking a handout. Or a guy who couldn't afford to go to college who gets up every morning and punches the clock for $10 an hour to try to put food on the table and may need some gov assistance like foodstamps, healthcare, etc.
I'm not sure anyone has concrete numbers on who does/doesn't need welfare but there's alot more hard working people out there getting some assistance than most people realize.
Having said that, I'm against ALL welfare. The problem with most people is they're against it except when it comes to shite they want. You're either for it or against it. Can't have it both ways my man.

Right, because everything is black and white. It's absolutely amazing to me just how misinformed the general public is on this issue.

I guess I'm for it then because I can't afford to plant trees on my property. I want in on the program because the gubment is gonna pay for the planting and pay me a payment for letting them plant. Then I am going to grow monster bucks until the term expires then cut the trees for a profit.

Everyone thinks farmers are the big dogs in the market. "Look at the prices of soybeans and corn. Man, wish I was a farmer". Farmers are the bottom feeders yet the American farmers support nearly 3/4 of the worlds population. Everyone feeds off the farmers, fertilizer companies or seed companies. Then prices plummet and farmers are still being fed off. Then throw in a drought like the Midwest 2012. If you get that a weather episode across the whole country that disrupts all the crops. You'll be thankful farmers have government support bc your $10 hr job will put food on your plate.
