$250k in sales is not a large farm. After fuel, fertilizer, water, labor, machinery payments, taxes, ect not very much would be left over. One bad year could cut those sales in half or more.
I’m guessing the author doesn’t know much about farming and likely has never been to or worked on one.
That doesn’t justify federal subsidies.
That could be but why should anyone listen to what the guy says about farming when he doesn’t show any in depth understanding on the subject? There are actual big corporate farms that he could use to persuade people but $250k revenue shouldn’t qualify.
$250k in sales doesn’t sound like a large business in most fields once you account for assorted overhead.
Federal farm subsidies are about getting rid of the family farm. ADM is not a family farm.
