I'm not that sorry for some farmers! A lot of them are getting subsidized payments for crops. I have in-laws, they havn't planted cotton in 20 years. But they share crop, and still get some government susidy.They are only keeping the land for their children, who have no interest at all in agriculture.They never have a problem with the share croppers because they arew very generous with the deals they make. They live in far west TN close to some of the poorest areas in america. If they didn't lease the land, and just let natural grass grow, guess what? yep a subsidy for that also.
