Yep, I'm not gonna expect to get one, or count on one for cash flow, I'm gonna budget and farm as if nothing is coming.
Same here! If you can only cash flow with a MFP... QUIT!!!!!
That is a bull**** statement! You don't know what circumstances have put a farm in the position to need a MFP to survive. Maybe a young farmer over extended himself a little too bit trying to make a go of it. Maybe he is just one or two average years from turning the corner to profitability.
A few years ago I was very against any government help on my farm till all this crap hit the fan. Now I am one of those younger guys needing it to survive.
You say you overextended yourself... now that is looking like it wasn’t a great decision. Why should you be saved when there’s undoubtedly some other guy that wanted to do the same as you, but decided to keep his job and not overextend himself? In hindsight, it looks like he’s the one that made the right decision.
Rewarding bad decision makers at the expense of good decision makers doesn’t seem like a good long term plan.
Hate to ask fellas.
