I realize there are farmers barely getting by.. however, what has been pissing me off lately is all this crabbing from them about there being too many deer because they are destroying their farms and costing them money.... crop insurance should take care of the animal damage. A few years ago, I signed up for a program on the Iowa DNR site (I think it's part of the depredation program) where my contact info is out there to help farmers take care of their "problem"... I haven't been contacted, and I would be interested to see if anyone has.
Also, what happens when farmers have a bumper crop year? Does the government give them less tax subsidies or is it more like "Congrats on making all the extra money this year, by the way, here's an extra $10,000 to supplement your income." ?
