I am grateful for what we have and that we can still operate. I’m grateful that good, local people we know buy what we raise, and that I’m able to work the land with my wife, my son, and my Dad. I don’t want subsidies. I’d rather there be no aid, period, because at present my tax dollars give subsidies to my corporate, big Ag competition who already hold monopolies across the board. I do want the government to stop increasing beef and commodity imports to lower prices below production costs. We should be the world’s largest exporter of beef and commodities, not Brazil (whose companies we subsidize). It’s almost comical that the one “subsidy” I applied for a few years ago was a $10,000 greenhouse grant. With Oklahoma winds I spent extra on materials using larger galvanized framing and put it up myself. I put metal 3/4 on the north side to keep north winds at bay and 3ft all along bottom and ends. I spent a bit over 10k and when I submitted all the material receipts a new little hire from the local office came out to inspect. “Wow, that’s a lot sturdier than most I see.” I proudly smiled and nodded, but then he said I had to remove all metal and extra bracing as it was “non compliant.” I said no, keep your money, and not only did they not reimburse but they sent a letter saying my “noncompliance” made me ineligible for other grants. Wasn’t applying for any anyway. Wouldn’t have built it if the grant wasn’t expected … These are the games they play. What little money is there for small operators isn’t there to help, it’s there to control.
