Educated morons? Thats a good one. Every other crop doesnt get subsidized yet they still make a profit. Most of the money from these subsidies arent even going to people in need, and the big cash cow farms get the money.

I honestly dont see why anyone would want corn to continue to be subsidized. It's called "creative destruction," and the resources should be put elsewhere.

Yes I will agree that usually the bigger checks are given to the ones that don't really need it. However I think that it should be subsidized simply because farming is not like your 9-5 job you are at the mercy of Mother Nature. If it doesn't rain enough for the corn to produce how is the farmer going to feed his family? But in most cases these sudsidies are used towards the farmers seed bill.


I've got a quote that I want you to think about from Dwight D. Eisenhower:

"Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and your a thousand miles from the corn field."
