"Farming subsidies" is often the best paid or the
only paying form of farming. In Ireland we had most of those grants seem to
aim at getting bigger, more industrial farms by getting rid of smaller
farms.
Grants were paid per head of sheep or cattle kept
from a certain date till a certain date and many farms did not keep any animals
beyond these dead lines. Logical, since if you kept cattle and or sheep year
round you lost money.
A fairly small sum was paid per hectare farmed as
well but this year we got notice that payments would no longer be made on lands
that had shrubs or trees on it. Next you knew there were hundreds of fires
going to get rid of all shrubs and trees.
Now it seems that all subsidies will be finished
soon. That will finish many a farm here.
