    Burbans are awesome. I drive a truck so no need for a big SUV, but absolutely loved it when we had one as an extra vehicle for trips. Road trips were so fun with the DVD player and a car full of kids and dogs.

    I'm aware of how to look to look up subsidies. Those records are only publicy available because organizations like EWG.org sued to make it public, and then published it.

    Teachers and government employees don't try to hide or downplay that they are on the government payrolls. That is the main difference. Farmers downplay how much government assistance they receive, while being one of the most vocal groups complaining about other people receiving assistance.

    No axe to grind. Just know too much and like to push back on some of incorrect narratives. The poor farmer narrative is pretty thick right now, I just like to point out it was mostly self created.

    I'm talking about a trade policy in the first term that was clearly disproportionately negative for farmers. So, voting for that again, plus tariffs, farmers knew exactly what they were getting. And what they were getting was a whole bunch of direct payments, kind of like the soybean checks the...

    Well the majority voted against a fair price, knowing they would end up begging for handouts. It's a globally traded commodity. Oil companies don't set the price either.

    That is actually exactly what they were trying to do until the current administration came in and implemented maybe the worst ag policy in the history of our country. They were moving toward a system with price and revenue triggers. Too complicated to explain here. Far cry from this...

    It is indeed socialism. All the citizens of this country distribute some of their taxes to farmers. Different from straight welfare, but similar to if you have work requirements for food stamps.

    Selling to some random kid who has no ag connections is far different from selling to a young farmer.

    What? Stimulus checks had nothing to do with need, and you didn't apply. It was automatically deposited, or in the case of some, on the 2nd Trump one I believe, mailed out. Based on dependents from the prior year taxes. Anyone claiming they didn't "take" one, is a straight up liar. They might...

    Yes. One of my kids fortunately just had someone do that with a house, an older couple moving to assisted living. He wasn't even a neighbor. Threw in all kinds of stuff too for free like a riding lawn mower, tools, etc. My kid goes out to eat with the guy every once in a while. They are happy...

    I was wrong about Fred Hoiberg

    Yeah, you never know, but we look pretty dang good. Just returning 2 players like Sandfort/Frager gives us a pretty high floor.

    Kid from Yutan better marry the farmers daughter. Same as if I want to own the local private grocery store. No one is giving me millions to buy it at 19 years old with no capital.

    Yeah, a lot set up multiple businesses, so they can get more government money once they reach caps.
