re-evaluate the farm subsidy program that hands out billions of dollars to landowners who are not farmers.

Created by J.S. on January 24, 2013

The Farm Subsidy program was designed to assist farmers. It is being abused by large and small land owners both. Billions of tax dollars are handed out annually to land owners who do not farm and who have never farmed.
Change the implementation of this program to help farmers only. Not land owners.

"The database tracks $240 billion in farm subsidies from commodity, crop insurance, and disaster programs and $37 billion in conservation payments paid between 1995 and 2011."

Change in this program can save billions in our budget.
