[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 116659, member: 1485"] C'mon GST...nobody said anything about enough. I'm just stating facts. I think SD had a high of 1.5 million acres of CRP enrolled in the mid 2000s. So there's been a loss of more than a half million acres. And when 2 out of 727 offers are accepted totaling 101 acres of a possible 42,352...well...it would appear there's a demand for more acres enrolled. Despite these restrictions that are so prohibitive. Apparently folks other than yourself don't appear too dissuaded. I'm with ya on the government spending. I think something like 80 percent of the last Farm Bill went to food stamps (about $756 billion). By comparison, crop insurance ($93 billion) and commodity programs ($40 billion) accounted for 15 percent of the entire bill. Ironic for something called the "Farm Bill" eh? And then there is conservation, which at $56 billion is only 5.6 percent of the entire Farm Bill's budget. Pretty paltry compared to the rest, especially when the entire bill accounted for nearly $1 trillion in spending. [/QUOTE]
