For a really interesting look at farming in the US in 2004, look at this
link: http://www.ers.usda.gov/Briefing/FarmIncome/forenew.htm remembering
that "farm income" includes subsidies for those commodity growers (corn,
soybeans, cotton, etc). Even so, the pie chart at the bottom of the page
shows farm income at 17% - higher than what I thought I remembered, but
still sobering.
