northern ohio | The original poster said it well. The crop insurance company gets the subsidy. With the logic that most use on here, saying that the farmer gets the insurance subsidy, is wrong. If that were true then direct farmer welfare should be deemed a general public food subsidy. Either crop insurance company gets welfare to make their products affordable, and the farmer gets the direct payment as a welfare subsidy OR Farmer receives crop insurance subsidy and the direct payment made to farmers is a general public subsidy. It cannot be both and would love to hear how it ever could be considered both for the farmer.
And let it be known I’m in favor of cutting it all if farmers are truly ready to put their money where their mouth is. Which also means the USDA no longer gets free info to manipulate markets and to insure a guaranteed food supply. Or have the authority to say what we do with our land. | |
