Put some cows. Beef is frickin STOOOPID right now. For the low low price of some fence and gates they too could be raking in the cash from the cows.

I understand the difficulties associated with farming, keeping farmers solvent, how important that is, blah blah blah.
and is this "government mandated aid" actually helping small independent farmers- like the ones they show in commercials- or is it helping ADM? I'm all for helping small independent family farms, but corporate welfare for some multinational conglomerate makes this mandate even more infuriating.

I can't speak to this in particular, but I do know quite a few small independent farmers and they regularly get financial help from the government for various things. It usually doesn't amount to much, but I couldn't pass the red face test saying small farms don't get any help. I don't know any "corporate" farmers of anything.
Based on the way acreage is being used these days it sure looks like the big guys are winning and the little guys are losing. Just go try to get yourself into farming these days. The costs are staggering and I don't see how any young person can break into that business these days without already owning the land.

The article cited the ADM CEO as being a huge proponent of this move. I'm sure he/ADM/their PAC probably made some significant campaign fund donations and the like just to help make sure their talking points were well received.

Is this going to make trying to find ethanol free gas for my lawn equipment and outboard even more of an Easter egg hunt?
My vintage rides HATE corn gas!

I guess getting rid of real sugar and using high fructose corn syrup for everything wasn’t enough
