Too late isn't the question. It's only a little tiny bit of money. Not enough to really do any good. If you lose 1000 acres of crop, & the govt gives you $5000 - big deal, what's that?

The bad from it: folks like below think farmers are getting rich from the 'handouts'. Cargill is happy because it keeps the price of grain a little lower.

Think we would be better off if there were no govt bandades at all. The markets would snap higher & we could make or break on our own.

Right now the govt supports & emergency deals keep a cap on income, and grain prices drift lower & lower. With more stady but low prices, the big can get bigger. The medium get driven out of the game entirely.
