IT STILL AMAZES ME HOW FARMERS WYNNE ABOUT EVERYTHING !!!! IF IT IS,NOT THE WEATHER ,IT IS NOT MAKING ENOUGH FOR WHAT THEY ARE SELLING !!!! THEY WANT FREE MONEY FROM THE WORKING POOR, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE SOME FREE ADVICE ,QUIT TAKING MONEY FROM OTHER PEOPLE, DEAL WITH THE THINGS THAT WORKING PEOPLE DEAL WITH EVERY DAY AND DO NOT GET HAND OUTS FROM TAX PAYERS. IF YOU NEED MONEY ,SELL A FARM OR A ASSET ,LIKE WORKING PEOPLE DO,TRY WORKING FOR $10.00 A HOUR AND THEN PAY TAXES EVERY WEEK,PLUS PAY FULL PROPERTY TAXES ,LIKE $4000.00 A YEAR FOR A HALF AN ACRE.AND GET NO HELP FROM GOVERNMENT!!! IF YOU DO NOT LIKE FARMING ,SELL IT AND SEE WHAT THE OTHER SIDE HAVE TO DEAL WITH !!!!!!!!!BEST OF LUCK REGARDS, BILL DENBY

Not really disagreeing with the jist of your piece, but I am quite certain that most people working for $10hr will be qualifying for an income tax refund. The only thing that amazes me, is when I read farm news, and the numbers spouted that make agriculture look like it is "going it on its own", and how many people there are who not only believe it, but get angry at the ones who do not.

You have too understand that collecting crop insurance means that I won't have another new motorhome too go to Arizona for the winter in this year. Those things cost more than $200,000 now and you know what it costs too fill them up.
