Seeding progress?

No you are not alone freewheat, Lots of us out there in simular situations. We just need more of us to start tellin the story as to how it really is out here, and to get people elected etc that really will do something about the level of risk that has been offloaded to us by the all those who buy off the governmemts of the day just so they can legalize their corruption and rule of the industry. this is not just about us farmers but many working people also, our system is in some ways as corrupt or more than many countries that the media criticize and mock at. Things have gone way too far off in favour of the corporate rule. I get a kick out of these extremist right-wingers who say that government programs should not exist, but at the same time they are the first ones and by a thousand fold lining up for government handouts for labour subsidies, training subsidies, the oil industry is a good example billions on billions of gov money (OUR MONEY) for exploration yet billions in profit, but farmers have to foot the bill for seed companies that want to develope new seeds chemicals etc. Our product benefits society more than oil yet we pay the whole shot, but then again just one example but we don't buy off the politicians either.
I know this doesn't help your immediate situation or mine for that matter.

I get a kick out of people who never read economic
history.

It was extreme right wing free market thinkers who
made possible the greatest economic growth
ever...called the industrial revolution.

I think in terms of politics, I would be very right wing. Having farm programs that pay out and then screw up and needing repayment need to go. I think all we need, or I would like is a crop insurance that had more stability. All I ask for is a better guarantee. Tie guarantees to how well one farms, take out disaster years beyond ones control like 2004, 2006, 2007, and I'd feel a lot better. I'd be willing to pay into something if it gave a better guarantee based on reality, and todays input costs.

Feeling better today, still waiting for my tractor to get fixed, and its snowing like a dang. WE ARE WET. Had a 2000 dollar tractor fix turn into 10 000. So I'm not ready regardless, but this weather is retarded. Most guys figure mid may is very optimistic.

No I must have missed that book about the extreme right wingers being responsible for all the progress of the industrial revolution, I'll ask for it next time at the bookstore.
If you look at past posts I have said more or less the same as you Freewheat, get rid of CAis either beef up a crop insurance that actually means something or come up with something else. I don't believe in there being a situation where you get money with no effort, but I do believe that if you go through the floods frost drought etc. there ought to be something there that doesn't punish you for those disasters that occur to the point that the program itself becomes a disaster and ineffective such as cais and crop insurance is now.
Curios what is your definition of " right wing" and " extreme right wing"?
