It goes against the grain, but I sort of miss those old CRP "set aside" programs where farmers were paid to leave some of their acreage fallow. I trapped a lot of fur on those fallow fields.

But yeah, the family farm just can't make it growing corn and wheat anymore. The small farmer who can't branch out into some specialty market just can't make it. All those subsidies farmers are supposed to get? They go to the big guys.
