      nothing, if you don’t want to be paid!

      a long time ago, the government paid farmers to keep fields fallow, to keep down production and keep prices up. you know… price fixing, like jesus intended when he invented capitalism. these subsidies are still around, because the only thing republicans hate worse then government spending is farmers not voting for them, so you can apply for, and get, subsidies on the land in now subdivisions, and the government will give you a check for not growing cotton on your lawn.
