Probably not morally fair , but should mega farms get gov't help / bailout to just grow bigger ? IDK but everytime our gov't gives any farmer money he uses ti grow the farm or in bad cases bank grabs it.....I see as a family F-F hog & crop farm that ventually we will get squeezed out as profits won't be worth the costs/work
In fairness to the programs, that's the theory behind the payment limitations. $250,000 is a lot of money to a small family operation. It's not very much to a guy with 37,000 sows.
Now, I understand that guys drive a loaded pot through the loopholes, but the intention of the limits is to avoid helping huge farms get bigger. |
