Farms that receive Funding
Did You know?
The top 10% of farms receive almost 75% of federal government subsidies.
Yep, roughly 80% of farmable acres are dedicated to monoculture farming or 350,000,000.00 acres. 90% of all subsidies are believed to go to staple crops.
If you want to quote me though: “farming isn’t a job or career, it’s a lifestyle much like being a fitness model. Also, I can do whatever I want as long as it’s ok with my wife. I don’t really consider myself a farmer per se. I’m more of an accountant who’s quick with a hammer or to tell a joke and light your smoke.”
