I once worked at a research farm that was state funded, and we purchased a top of the line beet digger to harvest 40 acres of sugar beets while we had a perfectly functional digger on the lot. But the money needed to be spent, or next year, we might not get as much. We were actually called on the carpet for making a profit from the cattle we sold after the "grazing studies" were over.
That was back in the 90's, and I'm sure it's worse now.
Yep I've heard the talk we gotta spend it or we won't get anymore next time around makes no sense but then again no sense can be made out of anything to do with the Government !
