Farm subsidy payments to farmers do not fall out of the air. Tax money given to farmers to keep them under government control. I personally do not believe in farm government control programs and refused to join. In the 1960's I tossed their forms in the trash. I received a registered letter telling me that if I didn't fill out the form by a certain date I would never be able to raise wheat. I wrote large corner ways across the form,( why the h would I want to raise wheat at these prices) President Kennedy let the farmers vote on the wheat restrictions and they were voted them down a year later.
The local office contacted me a few years ago and told me if I didn't sigh up in the farm program that with the law being written I would never be able to sell my farm to a farmer in the program. He said think of your kids having a farm they couldn't sell. I told him no problem I would just deed it to the Indians. He said you wouldn't do that. I told him apparently he didn't know me very well. That law never came up for a vote if it was true.
Call the subsidies what ever you want but I will continually call it farmer welfare because it is tax money distributed for following government rules. I didn't follow their rules and I never received a check.

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
