Are Government Subsidies Worth It? Double Crop Soybeans going in the Ground.

[@nathanalmond8280]

Thanks for sharing the video Russ. Good feeling being done with planting. Hope you get good stands. Yes sir I am with you on the government programs and substitutes. I've used them through the years too and they have always bit me in the end. So I don't try to use them anymore. That's just me and I am a little fish in the big pond. God Bless Y'all too.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Nathan I may have some replant to do yet.

[@nathanalmond8280]

@@Thomasfarmstn gotcha I hope it isn't too much. It's dry up here in Orange county Virginia.

[@TAHDAHFarm]

I completely understand the feeling that things are getting caught up. I got the hay in last week and just need to get the beans sprayed. I od th neighbor kid I. Would come down to help him with wheat next week. He has had a rough spring.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Yeah we still got second cutting and beans to spray.

[@johnnybaker317]

You need to change your pulley on your spreader and put the taller paddles on your spinners to spread that straw out

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Thanks I’ll check into that

Anytime anyone says something about the government, i reply with "You see what the government did to diesel engines and fuel cans"!! Its NOT in your best interests to let them in your business.

That’s right! Look at how the Native Americans were/are treated.

As soon as I saw that field I knew it was straw because it just looks hot 🥵

Yep different kind of heat!

I am glad you got it all planted Russ. It went from wet to dry quick. Hot a shower yesterday..perked things up. Be safe

[@Thomasfarmstn]

We didn’t get a rain. 2 days overcast with nothing.

You're not the only one that thinks or knows it's hotter (wheat straw)

It just hits different

Hello Russ enjoyed your video. Had a hard rain here today thunder lightning crazy storm about 2cm came down. Had such a loud crack of thunder think the house would fall. I thought the straw was going to be baled up there? Have a great day thanks again entertainment

[@Thomasfarmstn]

We are now dry and needing rain. None in sight.

I think most farmers wonder where farm aid went to. Certainly many farmers could use some farm aid.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

I think they still have the event.

Russ, there might be a 900.00 yearly subscription to help tell you you're getting low on seed. You know how john deere is all about the farmer.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Probably, lol!

[@Husker3435]

Howdy Russ, you’re absolutely correct, something about baled hayfields and also wheat stubble that seem to add 10 degrees…lol. Hope the rodeo was good and God Bless all y’all🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸

I wound up with a headache and we just went out to eat. Dang straw had me tore up.

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

It used to be the government was there to help people but now they are there to control. As a former Republican official, I’ll say that the GOP is crooked, just not as crooked as the Democrats. There will be a special place in eternity for those people. Blessed wishes with your beans Russ. Take care Russ and have a blessed week my friend.

There’s no such thing as government money. It’s either tax revenue or monetized debt (fed reserve buys treasury securities). Either way regular folks get screwed by taxes or by inflation. The Mises Institute at Auburn is giving away copies of Murray Rothbard’s “what government has done to our money” if yall are interested. It’s a quick read.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Yep it’s money we pay in for them to use to control. I’ll look into that book.

[@scottyleblanc2099]

Farm Aid is just like Jerry Lewis Telethon. You do not even hear about Muscular Distrophy.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Jerry may have cured it, lol! All joking aside Jerry probably invested a lot of money in research.

[@greghoover1559]

Why me3ntion the subsidies??? You didn't really even explain yourself. You made it sound like there's money flowing everywhere. What a disservice to ag.

[@Thomasfarmstn]

Non farmers think it is flowing. I think the general consensus is farmers live off the government.
