Back in the 80's the govt actually paid us to leave out 3% of the land. Nuts.. Those subsidy payments go to the corn acres in the Midwest now. No such thing as a southern payment unless you grow rice down here. Not much corn base acres in the south. All of ours is cotton base and they are no longer a program crop. As far as we are concerned they need to get rid of all of it and find a stable insurance program that can't be scammed by the unscrupulous. We have multi state farmers that move yields all over the U.S. to make it pay. Makes no sense to those who do it right. One can say "it's just business" but some of us think that's not going to help you on judgement day. Pay now or pay forever.
