Subsidies questioned by national think tank.

see above

Looks good to me. A lot of people benefit directly and indirectly from the much needed subsidies.

SW Oklahoma should be happy that Federal funds are coming back to that part of the state to promote America's lifeblood of farming and agriculture.

You loosers need to get a life and find some way to contribute to society.

As usual, your comments are invariably devoid of information that is even remotely useful to anyone!

A dull scribe like you is the one decoupled from reality.

Go to your local implement company and take look at what a cotton picker of large tractor costs. There's no way a farmer could survive without subsidies in today's ag environment.

What's your idea of an alternative? Let the farmers go broke? Let the large corporations take over the farming operations of SW Oklahoma? Turn US agriculture into a 3rd world operation?

Like I said, a lot of people is SW Oklahoma benefit from the subsidies that the farmers bring to this part of the state.

Why don't you say something meaningful instead of just carping about a topic you know nothing of?

Agent99 - What happens when you breathe way too many cotton chemicals!

Those cotton chemicals - now that's another problem unto itself. The extent to which these chemicals have impacted the health of Jackson County should be investigated. Perhaps it has. Checking into it.

Anti-Censor, your something-for-nothing mentality runs wide and deep like too many on this forum.

If you are going to make such claims... where's your proof?

Stop the stale venting and instead make comments (with proof where necessary) that justify good comon sense discussion.
