That's what the "check off" is supposed to be for. Seems to be one of the biggest legal scams ever known. Every load of beans the checkoff receives approximately $45 from the farmer. I would gladly trade the checkoff in on China buying. To those that think the $45 is voluntary it is not. Deducted from your check by the elevator.
as long as farmers DONT stick together NOTHING will ever change. we control ALLL the food BUT like all my neighbors the government has them right were they want them. they ARE so deep in debt they HAVE to plant and hope for a good year
Not everyone had record yields like most in the corn belt did. Every farmer i have talked to in north and south Carolina had a minimum of 60% below average corn yields, and highly variable bean yields. Some had 10% over aph on beans, some had 50% under. The only consistently good crop many had this year was their cotton crop if they grew any. Even the wheat harvested in june and july was not good either, as many people had all of it end up as feed wheat and get heavily discounted, as in most people got 3.25-3.60 at the elevator. Another ERP sort of deal would help those out who did not have the record yields, i know the Carolinas are not alone in having a hard year. I grow tired of seeing so much money flood out of this country to others, while I saw the indifference to what happened in areas hit by Helene. Please remember the 60 minutes special early this year shedding light on the fact that the US government is directly funding a lot of farmers fuel, seed, and fertilizer in Ukraine
Hey last time there were big market loss payments the commercials came in and widened the basis by so much that farmers got around 50% of the intended payments!!!!!!
Would it be benificial if the farmers that accept the payments to also have to setaside a percent of corn and bean acers in 2025 to have less planted acers and hopefully better prices next year
When is the last time farmers planted 95 mil acres that wasn't profitable. Sure you lose less on corn but it's not profitable. No way we plant 95 mil acres.
The fraud from paper farmers will destroy the public trust in farmers who really do love farming and the land.
I farm 2000 acres of corn and beans. No handouts please. Increase demand for our grain instead, ie exports

Dude over half the corn grown in the United States goes into ethanol production which is a government mandate/hand out.
that is something that is not happening, decrease is more likely
❤❤❤
All this does is help the huge farms instead of a young farmer trying to start up.
What is a free hand out of money called? Welfare
I agree with just about all the comments. It’s all bs. Even if this money is available I as a small farm will not benefit at all
These hand outs need to stop this is not going to fix anything long term
they keep the farms alive until some more permanent solution can be found. and it's just the start, next year it will be hundreds of billions
Another nail in the coffin for anyone having the dream of starting a farm 👎
SOCIALISM !
This is the result of tariffs in 2017.China found a new market in South America. If tariffs are put on Canada you can expect higher fertilizer prices
Tariff all of it to billy goat hell!
and result of coming tariffs and unsafe farming practices, as countries are looking for alternative grain sources to end US inports
Save the $10 billion. No one needs $600,000 tractors and $800,000 combines. It's possible and profitable to farm without uncle Sam's welfare.
yes it actually is... I pnated all my corn and milo with a 3000 dollar planter
tat 10 is nothing compaired the coming 200
They should cap it at 500 combined acres.
A cap is hard cause I farm with my brother, we’re 50/50. All Fsa stuff is a partnership, a 500 acre cap wouldn’t seam fair
as long as farmers DONT stick together NOTHING will ever change. we control ALLL the food BUT like all my neighbors the government has them right were they want them. they ARE so deep in debt they HAVE to plant and hope for a good year
they cant....If they couldnt in the 80's they sure as hell wont now...
Socialism for Capitalism. Does the American Farmer get some addictive drugs also?? Buy Put options instead of receiving a Government check.
Farmer welfare what's new they been going to the mailbox for decades
I would take a property tax abatement. Cut my tax burden instead of increasing it please.
Free new diesel pickups for everyone
What happens when import taxes are imposed on all products? Will everyone who suffers from bad policy be reimbursed?

What if you abandon corn and beans? No payment?
Sounds like around half

Stop the power of Cargill. And the farmers get some air.
farm credit is looking to make over 1 billion this year
One can go back and watch a whole lot of RUclips farmer channels opining about COVID money being handed out. As they say "glass houses".......
Government teats with more sweet milk!
There’s 1.9 million farmers…that comes out to an average of $5600 per farmer
Why are the visors on farmers caps curved that way ?
To help them sight in on the mail box to see if the Government farm checks have arrived. 😜
What is the health of the banks. I am hearing bad things for some. While some banks are healthy.
How about you do like the cattle market and contract until the price goes up.
Trump and elon said we have tough times ahead and they are making sure it happens. You get what you vote for. Sometimes sooner than you thought.

A good farmer will give half back in taxes. The showoff farmers will pay bills or buy a new pickup
Since when is this how you decide if someone is a good farmer? Why would you pay a large tax bill if needed a piece of equipment?
that’s the dumbest thing iv ever heard ….. dumbest
ohhh fuck no tho neither one...
That is what happened to me I paid most back in taxes because I managed with what I had.
@@craigadair128I believe he is talking about farm management.
Capt. bankruptcy will outspend both FDRAnd Reagan combined
Biden has added 7.9 trillion to the national debt. Trump added 6.5 trillion. Both parties are responsible.
Get over your TDS
Bill gates be happy about this announcement
