[AT] Off Topic not intended to be political

[Cecil Bearden]

Dad always said the Gummint subsidies were not for the farmer they were 
for the elevator and the miller.  As soon as the guvmint would publish 
the target price, wheat prices would drop to make up the difference.  
When we quit harvesting wheat with a combine and put it in hay, we began 
to make money.   Dad also said if the Guvmint ever gets into the cattle 
business, we are screwed.

I remember seeing my uncle on his front porch loosing patience and telling the 20+ year old Government bureaucrat that he was going in the house to get his rifle and he better be off his *&&^ place when he gets out.  He was all of 7 ft tall bad tempered by that time and meant every word.
