I am a full time farmer/rancher without a full time off the farm job. We do some part-time work in the winter,if the weather cooperates. This is kind of our "fun" money. As for the farm "welfare" as some people put it, I would just as soon have it elimated. I believe most farmers would rather have a fair price for commodities then be under the government control. The control they have over us for the amount they "give" us, is not worth it. Yes, there was a time when the government check was bigger than the check from the elevator. That is not the case anymore. Keep in mind that a very small percentage of the USDA's budget is actually given directly to farmers. It is food stamps, food at schools, even low income housing comes out of the USDA's budget. So in answering you question, I do not believe most farmers would go broke, although some might. I don't believe anymore people would starve than are starving now. If any farmer is relying on the gov't payments to continue farming, he has some other problems.
