I think you have to be large over night to get much government payments having grew up on a farm and daily driving past farms with 10 plus big pieces of farm machines and a field full of implements. I really do not know any roll crop operations under 3000 acres where 50 years ago 200 acres was a huge framing operation. ALL that I know today Farm the PROGRAMS to make it work out $$$ wise. It is a huge operation or no operation anymore.
That's pretty much the same here. Nobody is doing a small rowcrop operation. One local guy is so big that he employs over 100 people.
