Perhaps in 2002, maybe 1996, the farm bills merge together when you reach a certain age. Logically it would have been in 1996, when Freedom to Farm was supposed to be the buyout.<BR/><BR/>My skepticism about the buyouts is high. I remember when the 1980 crop insurance legislation was supposed to end disaster programs for good. About the only way to eliminate farm programs is to take the vote away from farmers and to eliminate free markets and weather.Bill Harshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02094598931693185805noreply@blogger.com
