And the frickery is that it isn’t just farmers but “attempted to farm” who were made eligible.

The qualifications for that last one are so nebulous that you can say “I was going to buy some seed and attempt to farm” without proving shite and still qualify for a check.

And yet, we're supposed to believe you when you claim you've never heard of a black parent telling a child to not to respect the authority of a white teacher.

I’m all for not putting racial data on loan applications to ensure equality, but the left is not interested in equality at all.


Well, the left is also for encouraging minorities to refuse to assimilate into mainstream culture, so if wouldn't do any good to leave the data off when the applicant might be named Unidastazovamerikaliqua (and yes, that's an actual name I found when I Googled "ridiculous black names").

That absolute silliness gives it away.

IDK, but I've known a few small farmers and they all said the financial complexities of farming are incredible due to equipment purchases, federal tax credits and subsidies. One thing was clear...they said if you're a farmer you must have a professional accountant. You can't do it yourself.


This is true. On top of “small farms” get more programs so a large farmer with say 8,000 acres will split acreage up into 6-8 different farms and companies in family members names with several separate lines of credit and loans. The amount of tax write offs available is insane, can pretty much put a majority of your personal expenses on the farm account and write it off. I know a ton of farmers who really never make money they just live off the loan year to year and pay it off then start again
