Wow, found this site to be very interesting: EWG Farm Subsidy Database
Several folks in nearby zip codes have collected well over a million bucks since 1995.
Let's face it, most of the "Farm bill" is just massive corporate welfare, sold to the taxpayers as protecting poor family farmers while that group is a tiny fraction of the beneficiary pool. When you have people like Sam Donaldson and Ted Turner getting gov't handouts, the system seems flawed.
