I am not a farmer and and confess to not really knowing all the details. I had a co worker who always said there was no money in farming telling me the government was paying him to not raise about 1/2 of his normal output. I asked him if they would send me a check if I promised not to raise 5000 head of hogs in my subdivision. I thought that was funny, and the whole table laughed, but he saw no humor.
Who’s being arrested for planting non gmo seeds?
That could be a good start but I believe it has to qualify as highly erodible, a waterway, riparian buffer, wetland, or other fragile/marginal ground. I could be wrong…Conservation Reserve Program

I am not a farm expert but one of them was high profile case in Indiana where the farmer was arrested and retaliated by taking Monsanto to court. It was all over the news, and the fodder for many discussions over coffee with my grumpy old men group, some of whom are in farm families. I can ask them Thursday. The Amish dairy farmers that were arrested were on the news also.
Thanks for your input, many details of every sector of business are only known and understood by people in that business. I did know that the food stamp program was under the Agriculture budget. Some of the programs make no sense. My grandkids live under a very comfortable home life, and money is no problem. They, and the whole school receive free food program meals, because once a certain percentage of people apply, the whole school eats free.The farm bill has always and always will be about controlling the food supply. There’s no quicker way to incite a rebellion than to let your people get hungry. (We need to be hungry for freedom, but that sounds like a topic for one of those crazy gun sites.)
Anyway, the set aside program of the 70’s was just that, to allow us to produce the ‘right’ amount of food without flooding the market, as the ‘cure’ for low prices is low prices, and then there could be a shortage due to reaction of low demand if that was not controlled.
Unfortunately the ‘get paid for not planting’ mantra carries on even though that programs been dead for a long time, except for CRP which applies to marginal ground, not really broad acres. We’re not getting paid for not planting. We are getting subsidies on crop insurance by being in compliance with wetland and sodbuster/swampbuster rules, and will receive payments when there is a combination of a low production/low price year.

State Water Regulations Worse Than WOTUS, Farmers Claim
State regulations, insists Steven Slonaker, can be more burdensome than federal oversight to farmers and private landowners.www.agweb.com
showing the intersection of federal regulation and state regulation.
It feels very much like the AFT. As a matter of fact, there’s this thing we say about roundup and all the genetics and wanna be’s - you might get a different price, but it’s all the same vat, just a different spigot. ATF, epa, army corps of engineers, irs. The same den of thieves/despots/control freaks just a different spigot.
So it’s gone from what sounded like a good idea to 60’s 70’s bureaucrats to the bloated insane inane pocket lining monstrosity where the people from the ground up are “just doing their job”. BigRed knows the answer.
Many (myself included) fall victim to that logic as we justify that we have to participate in order to pay competitive cash rent.
All that being said, the farm bill is actually
over 80% nutrition programs, 8% goes to the insurance mentioned above, 6% conservation and 5% commodity programs.
Probably more than you wanted to know…
I think the detail mixed up is that GMO seed was saved and replanted. As opposed to non gmo.
The school my wife teaches at now gives “free” breakfast to every kid. It may be triggered by the same thing, I was not aware of that.
Haha no!
Thank you for taking the time to post all of that. More importantly, thank you for helping us all not starve!The farm bill has always and always will be about controlling the food supply.

You've done a very good job at describing the farm bill. I'll just add that over the years investors, hedge funds, insurance companies, celebrities, and other mucky mucks have benefited from program payments funneling into their bank accounts.The farm bill has always and always will be about controlling the food supply. There’s no quicker way to incite a rebellion than to let your people get hungry. (We need to be hungry for freedom, but that sounds like a topic for one of those crazy gun sites.)
