Is it time to opt out of Agristability?

[Hopperbin]

Come to think of it has anyone found a place to park their aginvest money that pays better than 1/4 percent? Wish we could put that money into a tax free investment account. My opinion.

Over the the years myself and a number of other farmers
have increasingly abandoned this usless
agristability program.
And, I won't speak for others, but I and my farm certainly don't miss this
pos program.
The old addage, "I'm from the groverment and here to help you" certainly didn't work for my farm!!!!
We may not be doing great, but we'll get along and manage with out the unfair "agristability" advantage...

The accountants sure must be freaking. There
was no reason at all that farmers couldn't do
their own agristability. Everyone of the brains on
AV could have easily done theirs better than
anybody else could have completed it. Still can.

It was explained to me once that an investment account owned by the farm or any income not related to farming is taxed at 46 percent. This is for an incorporated farm.

my farm corp taxed at 46%.

From what I can tell agrivest is
designed to help banks more than farmers
by encouraging cash deposits. Hopper,
