A question for the guys who farm. Do you or can you make a living (or a decent wage) for your time, fuel, seed, etc. I know the government sets prices of stuff to a certain point. A coworker of mine has a friend who owns 1200 acres and farms corn. Several years ago the government went to this guy and said we will pay you $40 or so/acre to NOT plant corn. They paid him a few thousand dollars and he planted Feed corn instead and the government guy got P####D off at him for planting the feed corn. This sounds kind of screwy, If you plant the feed corn (or sweet corn) you would think that somebody would eat it either a person or livestock. Giving farmers money to not plant sounds strange.
