the brutal drought in the midwest is wreaking havoc on this years corn crop. in some areas of the country the crop is already dead.
however, some farmers are just sitting back and not doing a thing. just sitting in their farm houses and watching the crop die. they could fertilize and add pesticides to at least salvage a portion of their crop, but they aren't.
why you ask? because they will make more money cashing in on their government crop insurance than they would if they salvaged a portion of their crop. that's right. they just plow the crop under and say uncle sam, give me my check...
isnt that great? we will pay more for EVERYTHING (i dont have time to educate you on how corn is at the heart of food, fuel, etc costs), then we get to pay for the farmers insurance and the farmer gets to sit on his ass the rest of the year.
more government programs please....
