You are obviously anti american, you socialist pig you:grin:

I can drive three miles from home and ask what it takes to make a wetland farmable. Your definition of wetland may not be accurate, it doesn't have to be submerged. Anyway, no one is arguing that farming isn't the backbone of this country. I am arguing that many farmers and apologists...

My point, which is clearly lost on you, is CRP and direct subsidies are different.....and if farmers bitch about welfare...quit taking it..or like farmers in my precinct..put forth a plank that does away with direct subsidies. What's really sickening is guys making huge dollars & converting...

I don't. On one you are paying for conservation...the other you are paying them to make money. I fins it funny when fellow republicans bash welfare(i do too), but take direct subsidy payments. Look up ewg.org as I think that shows the subsidiea taken in each county, even by each farmer. CRP...

No doubt about that, but you can't honestly do both?

Leaving a legacy and having your descendants be able to enjoy hunting must not mean much to you.

Nitrates isn't new, but it's getting worse. My dad doesn't have a shred of cover, he was ahead of his time with a dozer and tiling machine. The gun control compariaon is ludicrous, comparing a guaranteed freedom in the Bill of Rights, to tje ability to dump tons of nitrates into the water...

Mid thirties..well educated. Ok, so because I said the two party system sucks, you think I want a dictatorship. God, I wonder what our forefathers would think about us today. We are weak minded, sheeple, following our "party" instead of examining each issue on it's own merits. Also, where do...

Wow....stud with a bit of everything ....love the mass....great coloration.

Enlighten me.

I agree..doesn't change what I said above though either.

The two party system needs to die. People root for their party like a sports team, regardless of the issue and whether their party comes in on the wrong side of an issue.

Lol.....dumb. I think greed is apparent. Why not just say if you don't have crp, wetlands, or filter strips, you get no direct subsidies...which need eliminated anyway. That way, it may make it more beneficial for people to leave some of the low CSR acres in native grasses, which by the way...

From Iowa. Family farms 600 acres. I care because my kids and I drink water in Iowa, and because my greatest memories growing up are of bird dogs working coveys and roosters. Access to land with deer and birds was pretty easy in the 80's and late 90's. But you're right, caring about nitrates...

Yes, but even smart farming and not raping low CSR ground, can be done without damaging habitat. It's gone too far...

Drive around page and taylor county..look at the number of giant brush piles, and find out how many miles of hedge, filter strips, and acres of CRP have been replaced. I grew up on a farm, my dad still farms, and due to his love of money over memories, clean water, and conservation, the dude...

Christ, I hope so.

Jobs and revenue are important, without a doubt. What about quality of life issues like the following which modern ag has a negative effect on 1. Nutrition...corn based products have been consistently shown to be less nutritious for human consumption than other plant source. You want fat...

I think a lot of shotgun party hunters do it right, but the ones I am familiar with often do it wrong, big groups, shooting every buck they see...even bragging about killed 17 bucks...none over 140. It's poor management, and they often let other deer lay after they shoot them. Maybe it's just...

Citizens united was a crappy decision, we need to ban money and lobbyists. Voters should matter...not $.
