In a country of 330 million people, yeah, there are bad actors. The fraud thing hits the news pretty often, but a few bums here and there are to be expected. They catch farmers cheating on government programs also. The lure of easy money has a very strong appeal.....

We call it welfare farming around here, 70k new diesel 1 ton trucks every year the best farm equipment and all that in fields where failed crops existed all year and I mean year after year, if you look at their social media page it will be plastered with thank a farmer this and thank a farmer that, but all you will see is pictures of them hunting all of hunting season and pictures of big redfish and trout all while most everyone else is out making a living. I work for a living and have cows and a little farming operation on the side but as another poster already stated I have never took any of the easy money because I just don't see where it's the taxpayers responsibility to bail me out, every now and then you just have to say dang the bad luck maybe things will get better. In the real world if you suck at your job you probably won't keep it long, in the world of welfare farming you can make a career out of it. There are some legitimate farmers who have bad luck, BUT have legitimately tried and I like to see them get a little help so they can hold on to their place and try again, there are just very few that get it. Do a little digging around at these so called farm partnerships and look at actual owner information and you will be surprised at the doctors and lawyers and business people who actually reap a lot of these benefits.
