With the subsidy, when it’s in the bank I know I have it and can use it as needed. With that money going for export promotion, I am not sure what if any return there will be. Think checkoff dollars that everyone loves to hate. ( with the exception of Jon SCK)
Most on this board have no clue.. of the amount of development it takes to build markets.. For instance you have to train the millers.. crushers.. as well as establish the ports.. facilities.. infrastructure (see Japan and China in South America..) etc.
Things like KSUs IGP.. but of course it’s easier to complain on an internet board.. about a minor checkoff expense.. against delivering to a market.. ethanol.. China.. etc..which the checkoffs helped crack open. Human nature I suppose..

Would you rather get the bail out money or give it to places and programs to increase exports ?
