BLOOD FROM A TURNIP? NOPE.

I feel bad for farmers, i do...but govt subsidies increasing when product is decreasing and education and health care take a hit year after year...not cool...


"Records obtained by The Associated Press show that the federal government handed out more than $687 million in subsidies over the past two years to hundreds of farmers in California and Arizona, the most seriously drought-stricken states in the West.

One program pays farmers for planting water-needy crops such as cotton and rice, which are largely grown by flooding the fields. The other provides cut-rate water for irrigation."
