Sorry, I read it wrong. Adjusted gross income.


You had me all excited when you said it was $500k gross. That’s what they should do.



Why? So a smaller operation gets subsidized while a larger one doesn't?


You have to start cutting somewhere. It’s probably hoping for too much for them to just cold turkey cut subsidies for everyone, so trimming them all the way back to just small operations sounded like a real good start.



Why not trim off all of the smaller farmers then because there are vastly more of them numbers wise, and also by numbers the dollar is much less efficient? Seems like a better plan financially to me than the other way around if you really want to trim fat, large operators are already capped, so punishing them more is simply socialistic in that you would like to "take from the rich and give to the poor".


That would be very politically unpopular, so not at all likely to happen. Like it or not, socialist policies are kind of the in thing right now. But sure, yeah, trim whoever. Let’s get the weaning process started.
