I know.
But when you break it down by counties, at least for me, I at least know of many of them. Know some of them personally.
And when you start pulling down 50 or 60 grand per year for "not farming", like a few of the locals do, it's not a bad lick. I know for a fact they haven't put all of their land in reserve.
Most of these farm programs are no more than welfare for the rich. The bigger the auger you bore with, the more that you get.
Central planning at it's worst.
