Itchy , good points ,besides reg. subsidized crop ins and RMP programs we get $15,000 agri invest check for just grossing X amount of dollars and a $100,000 interest free advance for a year,re-newable yearly for a $675 fee...yrs. ago my acc't said you are doing better on gov't checks that farmiing....brother is union millwrith at a big 3 auto plant and works 3.000 hrs. yr., every weekend and farmers say he is over paid...
so tell me red oak , how many hundreds of thousand does your brother have invested in his job?.............oh forgot the auto makers don't have any goverment money........lol
Lets see he has 40 yrs. training/working as a Millwright , point I was trying to make is does a guy working 6 weeks a year growing soys and wheat think a skilled trades guy working 3,000 hrs. + 2 hr. daily commute is overpaid....I think all of us baby boomers are a spoiled bunch of brats
40 years training and goes to work with a lunchbox and a car verses most farmers have a 1 to 5 million dollar investment or more and working 6 weeks a year on a farm that would be a hobby farm Don't get me wrong I believe people punching a clock are admiral people but there is no comparison I have and still work on self employment off the farm
