Why is the taxpayer giving this farmer $15k to operate his farm? How can I get $15k to do my job?

I do feel sorry farmers as they have to deal with the weather and politics.

Before anyone starts attacking the farmers, they should take a long look at out Ag program, and the reasons behind it.
Then, if you still want to attack it, be prepared to pay much, much more for your food.
