[QUOTE="NDbowman, post: 225190, member: 1525"] No I don't. Dirty 30's put lots of diversified farms out of business. I'm not old enough to remember that or the 50s and 60s but my parents talked about how poor everyone was back then. They just didn't know any better because everyone was poor. 70s had some good times but the early 80s killed lots of diversified farms. I do agree that free markets would be better than having the government intervene. I do think sometimes some need to be driven out of the business and let others have a chance and see if they can be profitable. I've heard of many who got write offs in the 80s, most of those that I know of that got those write offs are still poor managers today.
