So, Before The Farmers Get Their Trump Bailout

18. Sounds like you grew up in a long ago era.

I grew up in a rural farm area but my parents weren't farmers. All of the "deprevations" you suffered, I can probably one-up you on them. If you grew up in the 50's like I did most farm families lived exactly as you describe. You can't compare today's farmers with farmers of the 50's. I don't remember any of our neighboring farmers ever getting a bailout. They just took everything with a grain of salt with the understanding that this was just how farm life was.
