Now this is rich!
More $$ than the auto bailout that was returned to the taxpayers.

This is nothing new it's always been this way !

No matter whether it's aid or subsidies all farmers get a percentage of the funds allocated accordingly to the number of acres they farm !

Simple to fix that put a cap on it and exclude corporate farms from subsidies. I am fine with giving Old McDonald subsidies to keep his families farm above water but screw Monsanto, Tyson and ADM.

Actually the corporate farms that I'm personally aware of are own and operated by families !

Monsanto, Tyson and ADM are not corporate farms !

Might want to learn the truth about the bailout to begin with.

What kind of small farm was it ?

My guess they didn't sign up at the FSA Office unless you're talking about a 2 or 3 acre patch then it wouldn't be worth it !
