Roseglen, North Dakota | Good point. The payments wd be nowhere near 100% as OP suggested.
The govt payments are no different than a grain check.
I have never been obsessed or felt guilty about the payments.
They're legal.
I dont do drugs or have costly vices or have a lake home.
Not 1 penny went into savings.
It all went back into the farm, which will help my descendants.
And I dont feel bad about that either.
Because some get so wound up about these payments, it would sure be nice to know what % of your gross income over the last 20-40 years is actually govt payments.
I know it helps but I dont think its as huge as some bellyache (or brag) about.
In a disaster year, its substantial.
Some years its near 0.

Are you worth more than the government has given?
