Seems to me that every time this subject is brought up some people attack it while others defend it. So about the only way to really understand it is to go to the government sites and read about it.
I do know that my former tenant claimed he couldn't plant certain crops on certain land he rented because to get the subsidies he had to follow thier rules. This is used to control production and to protect the soil.
A heck of a lot of folks on CRP are not nor have ever been farmers. Nor do they have to plant grasses in all cases. The ones I know who had to plant grasses had it all paid for. This was originally a soil conservation program. No it's used to control production.
Most of the people I know who defend subsidies are very quick to point out that most of the farm bill is for food stamps. The question wasn't about the farm bill, it was about subsidies. Some of you guys should run for office. You would do well in the debates.
I do know that the bigger you are the more you get. That is one of the reasons that a lot of people are angry about it. The guys who really need the help get little or nothing while the big guys get the lions share.
Most of the stuff on swamp lands has now shifted over to DNR. They have classes of "wetlands" that provide some protection to it. A good example is I have some swamp. My piece north of the highway is class A wetlands and is so protected that it held up a highway improvement project for several years. I get a tax break on it only because it has little value.

Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
