moonkitten: Honorable Secretary of Agriculture/Washington DC.
Dear Sir:
A friend of mine,in Wells,Iowa.received a check for $1,000 from the government for not raising hogs.So,I want to go into the"not raising hogs" business nex year.What I want to know is,in your opinion,what is the best breed of hogs,not to raise?I want to be sure that I approach this endeavor in keeping with all the governmental policies.I would prefer not to raise razorbacks,but if that is not a good breed not to raise,then I would just as gladly not raise Yorkshires or Durocs.
As I see it the hardest part of this program will be in keeping an accurate inventory of how many hogs I haven`t raised.My friend,Peterson,is very joyful about the future of this business.He has been raising hogs for twenty years or so,amd the best he ever made on them was $422 in 1968,until this year,when he got your check for $1000 for not raising hogs.
If I get $1000 for not raising hogs,will I get $2000 for not raising 100 hogs? I plan to operate on a small scale at first,holding myself down to about 4000 hogs not raised,which will mean about $80,000.,the first year.Then I can afford an airplane.Now,another thing,these hogs,I will not raise,willnot eat 100,000 bushels of corn and wheat.-Will I qualify for payment for not raising wheat and corn,not to feed the 4000 hogs I am not raising?
Also,I am considering the "not milking cows" business,so,please send me any information you have on that,too.In view of these circumstances,you understand that I will be totally unemployed and plan to file for unemployment and food stamps,until I get my first check.
Rest assured you will have my vote in the coming election. Patriotcally Yours,
Joe Harding

It would be funny if it wasn't true. This idea of paying farmers not to produce goes way back.
"Hoover’s program was the Farm Board, which fixed
price floors for wheat and cotton only. If market prices
went below 80 cents a bushel for wheat and 20 cents a
pound for cotton, the federal government would step in
to buy the crop, pay to store it, and hope to resell it later
for a decent price.
The Farm Board had disastrous unintended consequences
for almost everyone. For example, many farmers
who typically grew other crops shifted to wheat or
cotton because they were protected and now provided a
secure income. The resulting overproduction forced
down the prices of both crops below the price floors, so
the government had to buy over 250 million bushels of
wheat and 10 million bales of cotton.The costs of buying
and storing these crops quickly used up the program’s
allotted $500 million. After about two years of
buying surpluses, the government finally just gave them
away or sold them on the world market at huge losses."
That's just a part of a facinating article here:

Indias farmers rate deminuished their investment already unfortunately by suiside ..."Since the late 1990s (as industrial agriculture took hold in India),166,000 Indian farmers have committed suicide and 8 million have left the land (P. Sainath, The Hindu). Farmers in Europe, Asia, Africa, Indonesia, South America, Central America and here, have all protested Monsanto and genetic engineering. "
What does this have to do with you?
Your Orwellian-named "Rural Americans for Hillary" were Monsanto's lobbyists.
Monsanto made Agent Orange, PCBs, nuclear weapons components, pesticides, and with that diverse background in death, are now "doing" in world wide food.
Btw. please - someone has any reports of Bill Gates philantrophy org. is still being involved with Monsanto deals in Africa ?
