Default Re: Wake up time for some here...

To the ag. experts out there, this is how it worked, 65 years ago, we quit truck farming, and got to growing soybeans and field corn by a local farmer who leased our land. He had enough after a couple of seasons with hurricanes that ruined the corn. The USDA talked my grandfather to sign up for the soil bank program as there was more than enough land in production at the time. He got paid a certain amount each year provided a cover crop was planted.I sure enjoyed going to sleep listening to a Minn.Moline dryer running at night.If you enjoy eating, don't complain about subsides and crop insurance. Best way to grow up.Now the property is divided into horse farms, not some tackey housing development.John Kissel
