[QUOTE="Lurker66, post: 2395791, member: 24459"] Cool lesson. FWIW, I dont disdain comercial agriculture, its a business. The conservative side of me doesnt agree with subsidizing farms with tax dollars. As for the insurance. ...if a farmer can buy it, cool, but when things dont work out, either for the insurance company or the farmer, dont put the taxpayer on the hook. And I agree about the "damn high risks and uncertain returns" but if ya cant make a profit, thats not really a taxpayers concern. I feel for the plight of farmers much like the plight of the small business man, but im not beholding to any particular "business" when it comes to tax money. Just makes no sense to help a farmer buy insurance for crops that might fail or helping a business buy insurance for a product that he cant sell. Thats not what tax dollars are for. [/QUOTE]
