so, yes, I call it a subsidy.
Outbreaks, droughts, cyclones, floods, earthquakes all happen from time to time. It's all part of the deal. You can't protect yourself from everything. Hell, you can't really protect yourself from anything. Farmers are aware of these risks

If you can find anywhere in any of my postings where I farmers, I'll be happy to apologise

Over to you dollface.
P.S: farmer suicide is bloody tragic! I am well aware of it. Don't bold your letters and (not-so-subtly) insinuate that I am either unaware or cold hearted enough to not care. That's gutter style.
