Should corn be subsidized?

ukyfootball Wrote:Ok, that was a bad example. The variable was the you are not full. Using it along these lines though, the farms are not "full." They are already making profits, the subsidies just increase them.

I just dont understand who "THEY" is? from the article with that video looks to me like they found the biggest farmer in Nebraska and asked him what he thought of this. Yes I will agree that the bigger farmers are making an extraordinary amount of money off of this. However they need to look at the smaller scale farmer. I'll give you a perfect example. I am very good friend with a local dairyman in Western Pulaski County. He raises his own cows, raises his own corn (both for silage and shelling) He produces Grade A milk, milks about 70 head of cows twice a day. THe only benefit from his corn that he grows is that he has enough money to pay his bills and put food on his table. Southern Belle buys his milk at 15.00 for every 100 LBS of milk his cows produce now that has just been raised to 15.00 about a month ago. It was 12.00 for 2 years. Now if you remember back about 2 years ago when we had the drought his corn was only about knee high. Needless to say he had to chop every bit of his corn just to be able to feed his cows. He didn't have any corn to shell so that he could grind to feed the cows while he was milking. If it was not for the subsidies kicking in he would be up the preverbial $hi* creek. Its not just the corn producers that are getting subsidies. Its anything that has to do with agriculture: Corn, soybeans, peanuts, wheat, ETC...
