Title: farm subsidies
Post by: steve dave on September 30, 2014, 07:26:50 AM
so sddad got like a half million dollar check from the gov. because he didn't sell his cows when the drought was bad and everyone was selling their cows. like, he isn't selling his cows for that, he still gets to keep them, he didn't lose anything and now he gets this huge check for just being a cow farmer who arbitrarily chose not to sell them all a year or two ago. I'm probably missing some of the details to this money exchange but I think I have the important parts correct. so, in summary, what in the crap are we doing giving all our cow farmers all this money? like, poor people need money and they didn't sell any cows either.

He should sell all his cows and other farm stuff and retire with that check
Title: Re: farm subsidies
Post by: 8manpick on September 30, 2014, 07:28:59 AM
Or maybe never sell the cows so he can keep getting $500k checks in perpetuity

he's just 60 and he wouldn't know what to do with himself for the rest of his life. farmers don't ever quit farming I think. at least I have never heard of one quitting.

Okay, go with my second reply then.  Can cows live like 30 years if they don't get eaten?

he also has zero horses. apparently you can do cow farming with no horses or horse riders working for you. he even calls his employees cowboys but they don't have horses. just trucks and ATVs and stuff. he will sometimes hire actual cowboys to do stuff but it's usually only once a year for a big round up deal. the ATV cowboys do like a thousand percent more roundup'ing than the horse guys so I think it's just for show. I was an ATV cowboy as a kid but one time a horse cowboy had to lasso my handlebars and pull me out of a creek when I got stuck.

I think I could easily get access to as many as 25 acres right now.  How many white cows can I put on something like that?  100?  200?  More?

It has really good hay growth and is on a sunny hillside just west of Bonner Springs A.K.A. the most desired cow farm grazing land known to man, if that informs the answer.

About 20, probably. You need to think much bigger. You government check is going to be pretty small otherwise.
Title: Re: farm subsidies
Post by: steve dave on September 30, 2014, 11:14:11 AM
the more cows the better I think. also the grass being good is actually bad for you getting money according to how sddad was explaining this (I was fading in and out of paying attention so maybe this is not as critical as it sounded). like, there was some multiplier of cows and how bad the grass or drought was or something and then also some bonus thing for cows that actually died and you get that paper.
Title: Re: farm subsidies

Wait, so you have to starve a cow to death to get the money? :sdeek:
Title: Re: farm subsidies
Post by: steve dave on September 30, 2014, 11:17:27 AM
also additional corporations and ownership interests and junk = more paper. if you have some cows and then your son has some cows and then your other son has some cows and your dad has some cows and then you have some cows with different corporations with your buds and the grass all sucks you get more paper. the more confusing your setup of cows is the more you get from what I understood. does this sound correct to cow people itt?

big cow is becoming big gas from what I also understand from sddad. like he has gas wells all over his land and he wants them to come shazbot! the crap out of it and get more gas but they haven't and I think maybe the ground isn't good for fracking but never give up hope that they shazbot! the living crap out of your land and you get that paper is apparently his motto.

Self feeding cycle.  Windmills screw up air temp around them, fracking waste screws up soil, therefore no good grass. Multiple Corps to run the wind, gas, fracking, cows, etc through to complicate the crap out of everything.  Huge paycheck for bad grass, bad cows, and complicated set up.

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.

1. Screw siblings out of their share(Assuming my uncle doesn't screw my dad out of his share)
2. Buy a F-150 pickup, maybe F-250?
3. Rent the land out for a set fee? Maybe a 1/3 the profit?
4. Either way get a phat check from Chelsea Clinton or Sasha Obama.

Well, there you go sys. Go farm that.

Can't farm the grasslands.  Can put a crap ton of cows on them, though.

Speaking of bullshit, the National Forests and National Grasslands are managed by the rough ridin' Department of Agriculture.  How bouts fox watching the hen house, hmmmm?!  :curse:

Wow, great thread SD. Just reinforces how rich Ima be once I inherit 1/9 of my grandparents farm land in western KS....I'm already scheming up ways to screw my siblings out of their share so I can get ONE THIRD of the land....Guess what...I'm the oldest male sibling....which means I do all the will/inheriting stuff when my amazing parents pass because you know, tradition.

1. Screw siblings out of their share(Assuming my uncle doesn't screw my dad out of his share)
2. Buy a F-150 pickup, maybe F-250?
3. Rent the land out for a set fee? Maybe a 1/3 the profit?
4. Either way get a phat check from Chelsea Clinton or Sasha Obama.

3.  Cash rent, that way when they take a dive, you'll still see $

I still don't know what they are! (Outside of being grassland which I assume are near Cimmaron which we (Meade studs) coincidentally make a habit of beating the crap out of in 2A sports)

Yeah, bass boat will be purchased with the piles of cash I make in year one.

I'm thinking that by year 4 or 5 I could probably afford one of those huge ocean fishing boats dax was talking about.  :love: :love: :love:

When mrs.hamburg's grandma dies (so 20 years from now) her and her sisters get 400 acres.  I think I'm going to keep one acre with one cow so I can write off my truck and all my gas going back to KS.  I think I can also do things like write off a new computer for doing cow business.

My dad almost got $2 million for farm land from the government for some solar power thingy but they decided to go with wind power at some other location at the last minute. Typical gov. ruining everyone's life.

The stud 2a sports thing reminds me of when one of my buds first son was born, another bud says "wow, he's hung like a stud field mouse, congrats!"
