I have three farms with CPR land on them. The amount of regulation is as vast as you have pointed out. The program is ever changing and will go through another round of calls to close it down than followed by open it back up again. Worse the Fed. just seems to be of the mind set that every program, every payment and every promise it makes can be cut by them on a whim when ever they like.
Almost as bad are these special interest groups that seem to know more than anyone else and want to control everything as a way to justify their existence and increase the need for donations to further their great deeds. Like cancer they seem to spread and grow all out of proportion of their true value.
Like many I have less and less need for these programs. My land has been paid off for years. I do not need any of these benevolent programs that seem to assume that I am too stupid to manage my own land and need the collective wisdom of a group of people who left to their own devises would starve to death trying to grow food on a farm. Some of life is theoretical, some is common sense and some is BS. I know which I ascribe most of this to.
