Boone Co. Iowa | No one is being forced to do anything. Seems to me like everything is a carrot, not a stick.
If a farmer in Iowa can raise a crop on black soils using strip-till and cover crop practices, as opposed to running a v-ripper and leaving the soil uncovered 5 months out of the year, and the government wants to subsidize one practice and not the other, that is nothing more than an opportunity.
If you don’t like the carrots, don’t go for the carrots. If your neighbor likes the carrots and goes to the trouble of getting the carrots, why complain?
Anyone who says the government shouldn’t get involved probably isn’t taking subsidized crop insurance or signing up for ARC / PLC or certifying their acres or following HEL practices or enrolled in CRP, right?
