Nebraska aka the boondocks | If you look at ag payments over the last 50 years, on a yearly basis, and look at the gambit of programs, this payment is well within the parameters of what the USDA does every year, in fact it’s at the bottom end. Why are people so wound up? There are winners and losers, well that is the case every time, look at the hoopla over arc payments by county. There will be winners and losers with the plc payments This year. As farmers we sit and wait for the USDA reports to tell us the facts, we sit and wait for them to tell us their payment rules every farm bill, etc etc etc, same routine, different year. |
