Sixty-two percent of American farmers do not receive any direct payments from the federal farm subsidy system, and that group includes most livestock producers and fruit and vegetable growers.

Look, I live a good lifestyle and I get/support subsidies. Protection of our food supply is economically important.

We don't have a firm count of how many farmers are serving in the current Congress, but we do know, based on a recent analysis of the Environmental Working Group's Farm Subsidy Database, that 23 of them, or their family members, signed up for taxpayer-funded farm subsidy payments between 1995 and 2009.

I've already asked this three time, and the only reason I'm asking is because I just want to know outside perception. What percentage of inputs do y'all think subsidies cover on a normal Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana Delta farm? One big enough to support a farmer, manager, and 5 more employees.

this was

but I missed it whilst copynpastin
I agree with you OG bout the downtalkers
the farmers that I know struggle to make it with or without subsities and are under huge amounts of stress and debt.
BTW my papa was a subsistance farmer and most of my family was.
