And sometime around then the government got involved but not sure how.  But I grew up with wheat allotments and green checks issue to farmers.Business in town have not enjoy those green checks and are left to die.  Same with salary workers.  Both to some extend.When farmers talk about how hard it seems they also talk about their vacation in the caribbean and the cost of their new pickup at 60-75000.And then these same walls go up between farmers versus salary workers.  When I worked with the ranchers and called them a farmer they got upset.  They stated we are ranchers not farmers as we work for a living and not for a green check like the grain farmers do.But.Over time we got depended on our energy from overseas instead of producing our own and we all know how that worked out.Could one imagine what it would be like if we decided the hell with growing our own food and got it from overseas.So I support the helping of keeping the herd, not to help buy a 60-75000 vehicle but to help in whatever way to enable the rancher to keep his herd for next year.  There are ranchers on here with that little rain are hope full and doing something to keep their herd to survive.  If I need to put a few bucks in by taxes to help with the hay, fine.  Just do not show me the check as you talk about how tuff it is.  Life in town has it ups and downs and our pants go on one leg at a time as yours do.  db</blockquote>
