Of course farms get subsidies to grow corn for ethanol
no they don't
Show me what usda program gives ethanol subsidies
quote:
corporate farms but those corporate farms aren’t singular farms in many instances. They are 3-4 large farms consolidated under a corporation to produce said corn for said corporation at the expense of the corporation which receives subsidies that they pass on to the farmers
Give me a real life example of this
If this is happening all over - it shouldn't be hard to find

And that's a result of Trump 1.0 and his trade policies
No it isn't. They were already starting to switch their buying to SA before Trump got elected - they've been pouring billions into SA infrastructure improvements for 15-20 years

hey can and do but subsidies come with strings attached that most small farms aren’t large enough to produce a tangible amount.
Thats not how it works
No farm directly get ethanol subsides - ethanol keeps the price inflated.
100ac of good corn aph ground will get just as much money through arc or crop ins per acre as 1000ac
Sounds like your dad's farm was a victim of economies of scale
Also 500ac ore 1000ac isn't a big, corporate farm

Let’s get a couple of things straight: the American farmer did this to themselves a long time ago when they became reliant on subsidies that the small farmer doesn’t get to farm corn and soybeans that the market doesn’t need or want. I can understand that they are upset but again it is self inflicted. Small farmers like my dad were pushed out of the market by corporations and now we are paying the price
Why don’t small farmers get subsidies?
Your dad might’ve been pushed out by corporations but it wasn’t farming corporations
It was Cargill, Bayer, JD, etc

This is totally untrue

Currently for cotton and the grains it’s depressing situation.
Takes a bumper crop to pay bank back… not make money but to cover expenses
yea but that wasn't caused by tariffs
It was caused by the whole American food system thats been bad for the American farmer for years but the govt gives us a little bit of money here and there so most stay in business and JD and the bank can get paid and Farm Bureau then pats themselves on the back

sequestration. And some of the largest, most appropriate sources of clean CO2 are ammonia and LNG plants, so sequestering close to those means short distances transferring the CO2
Why are we even doing this anyway? The trees, pastures and rice fields in Allen parish naturally sequester more carbon than this scheme could ever hope for

I thought crawfish were going to be more expensive this year because they always go up in price and nobody was going to be able to afford to boil them?

Because the govt killed chickens they didn't need to
And because Cal-Maine has a monopoly on the egg supply and some German company has monopoly on laying hens which allows them to artificially reduce supply
