[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 180642, member: 315"] we have woven quite a web with our ag policies. but we are married to it now. we have to bail them out now or we're screwed. trying to soften the blow to tax payers with "cheap food" is bullshit because I have yet to find this cheap food. Bought any beef lately? 40-50 years ago the majority of farmers ran used equipment and drove beat up old pickups and sprayed with those very pickups. Now look at em. They have obviously done extremely well. The lending practices have become nuts. They obviously are making enough money on good years to pay into a fund to help those down the line that run into issues like this drought. Every other business carries insurance of any/all kinds necessary. Why should ag be any different. We all knew the ag industry was going to have to make a major correction and maybe that time has come. I don't want to see any of them fail but like any business the piss poor operators need to go belly up. Somehow the whole system needs to be reworked. [/QUOTE]
