Can you explain to me how this USDA subsidy thing works? Is it a per acre payout, is it tax free dollars, what is the average payment for the last 10 years in your area? I know some boys up Minnesota way that got close to a million dollars over a 10 year span farming a couple thousand acres. I'd probably have a new combine too.

I don't have a clue how that works.

@5harvester Farm subsities were put in place to keep food prices low. In the old days there were many cases of people taking advantage of the program so now there is a cap to how much payment a farmer can get. The payment is so much per acre depending what program the farmer is in. To expalin all the farm subsities I would need much more room than I have here. The subsities are much less now than in years past. I think that we don't need them anymore to be honest. Let the market determine price.
