1) How many farmers are being paid to not farm? That's called CRP.

Here's how many in Camus County, and the total dollar amounts.

Camas County, Idaho $5,112,619

They aren't farming that, but getting paid our dollars...5 million of them to not farm.

2) The 49 other states have zoning laws inside city limits. Not in rural areas.

3) If you sell, or give 50 acres of your 100 acres to your son, you have subdivided it.

Is that prohibited too?

4) It isn't YOUR farmland getting "paved over".. It's HIS. Bought and paid for in America.

I thought New York and CA were bad.

This takes the cake.
