farm subsidies

[Rage Against the McKee]

Who in the government do you tell that you have cows? Do they come out and check to see if you're lying? I could see myself having zero cows and telling the government that I have 10,000 cows. 10,000 cows in a dirt field. No grass. How much money could I get for that?

I think they have audits.

[star seed 7]

Keep your government registry off my cows

[chum1]

If they come to check on my cows, I will tell them that the cows are out grazing and suggest that they try again later.

[slobber]

sd, explain how the government knows how many cows your dad has.


Gonna win 'em all!

[slobber]

Is there a title involved?

I think maybe he tells them and then they can come check it out to see if everything is on the up and up. but they can't afford to send anyone to check because they are broke from writing 6/7 figure checks to everyone. this part is entirely speculation because I have no idea and he didn't tell me.

[Asteriskhead]

What if I store cows in a warehouse. There's no grass there, just concrete. I'll hang a gone fishing sign on the door. Come back later, Obummer.

[steve dave]

also we have tons of CRP (this land that they gov. writes you a check for and you don't do anything with it) and all of our cows get to eat it because of drought

sddad better buy like two dozen King Ranch's or he's going to have to pay taxes on that.  I love the end of the fiscal year go nuts buying crap stuff that farmers do.  Also, I could be mistaken, but aren't cattle folks called ranchers, and row crop folks farmers?  Just a hunch.

I call him a cow farmer because it makes him chuckle. "how's the cow farm pops?" "cattle...ranch...fine"

It kinda sucks you had to explain that. I enjoyed you saying cow farmer.

no, the depiction of your pops' response was worth it and made the thread better. i could almost feel the sigh.

[Benja]

I'm kind of surprised that cattle rustlin' hasn't made a comeback in the Obama economy, really. Sounds easier than cattle growin'.

Meade is good for one HS kid stealing like 3 cows and taking them to Beaver, OK trying to sell them at the cow sale about once every 3 years. always pretty lol.

what an adorable small town midwesterny heist to pull off.

What is the dollar to cow ratio?  I mean, I have access to several acres that aren't doing anything right now.

You can also get paid for not doing anything with those acres.

Yeah. Just have to burn them once per year. That is probably a better deal for you than trying to run a 25 acre ranch.

Not my acres, but I could easily get use of them for basically nothing.

You had better make sure he isn't already being paid to do nothing with the land. You wouldn't want to screw his payment up by grazing cattle on it.

Audit me, Bro!

Last night a friend of my who has show cattle said he plays sports talk radio to his cows to help them to learn to be calm when hearing human voices.   This way they will not go wild in the show ring.  He said they like to listen to K State sports.  He did not say what they would do if they listened to KU sports; IMO likely quick giving milk or go sterile.  If a KU cow touched the nose of KSU cow, the KSU cow would probably die of hoof and mouth disease.  Not sure if there are KU bulls.

[star seed 7]

That is some a+ cow farm related ku smack talk

[Mr Bread]

Ain't no bulls!

[michigancat]

Ain't no bulls!

[RickRampus]

i know, right?

[Spracne]

Why settle for semicolons when more appropriate punctuations are available?
