Now you know why people aren't selling their farmland and why there is so little for sale. Because the government is in the business of 'price fixing'.
Remember the article I published whereby I warned people about Socialism, especially in Salisbury, Maryland? I even cited examples whereby hordes of buildings have been taken over by our government.
Well this will just blow you away. Do you recognize any of the recipients. Especially one James Doug Nolte. Virtually all of the County is on the public dole in one way shape or form. Even Peninsula Urology is a recipient of subsidy in one way shape or form. Look at the mammoth subsidy payments.

Look at Lewis Riley's take, $475,000.00 in farm subsidies as 75% owner in Beaver Run Farms.
This is while he was Agriculture Secretary under Ehrlich.
http://farm.ewg.org/farm/addrsearch.php?z=1&zip=21849&page=0
Go to the end so you can see the percentage of ownership for Lewis Riley - (75%)
No wonder they, (County Officials) don't want any more development.
Did you know about these huge sums of money being doled out in farm subsidies?
Remember Folks, the top ones are just the ones with a Salisbury Zip Code. You can change the zip code on the link above to look in your area. I should state for the record that I purchased 32 acres of property in Willards it had 10 acres of the property in a forestry program when I bought it. Although it doesn't show up on any of these records, I thought it only fair I disclose that.

I am on the list for Conservation Reserve monies for the planting of a tree farm on highly erodable land. I'm a free marketer and would prefer the market to be allowed to work, but with crop subsidies and programs like CRP pulling and pushing against one another, I'd be a fool not to take advantage. I guess I am a slave to the feds the way they have continued enslaving blacks and destroying their families with the welfare program.

This is my grandfater, who was a proud farmer. He has been deceased for several years.

There is a certain rational to subsidies. For example, Pepsi Bottling...is it better that we pay them $90k, or is it better that they pull up stakes in Salisbury and move, therefore losing the jobs? I think the first one!
ReplyDeleteJoe,
ReplyDeleteYou only show zip code 21801, there are more in each local zip code. Look at 21804.
These figues are cumlative, and cover conservation payments. My land that is under CRP is shown. If you want soil conservation and water quality, farmers, and land owners, should be compensated for land taken out of production.
farm boy
And they all get the special ag land subsidy on their property tax, too.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Hazels owned Pepsi did they get any money from the city? If they did they gave it back 10 fold in donations
ReplyDeletethe real welfare program, capitalism is a desease.
ReplyDeleteLooks like one of the owners of Gillis Gilkerson is on the list.
ReplyDeletethis is unbelievable, i reconize alot of these names. some of these people are driving around in $35,000.00 trucks and $50,000.00 cars. some have built massive buildings on their properties as well. a few of these persons have land thats not even farmable to begin with. this is a crime against the state and further investigation is needed to bring this into the sunlight. i wonder if andy harris would aprove or commit to a task force to investigate all of this. if you think the white girl with the little mixed babies are ripping the system off, think again.
ReplyDeleteyou can bet your lucky ass half of them are in church on sundays pretending to be honest upstanding christians to.
ReplyDeleteIt is welfare, just by another name. Nobody on this list should complain about government handouts! I understand the purpose of these "grants" and support them for the most part, but then again I'm not one of those who thiks the gov't should look the other way when citizens cannot get decent healthcare. To be consistent, if you supprt these gov't payouts, you should also support the federal gov't subsidizing the health care industry.
ReplyDeleteI Having recently purchased a farm in Wicomico County. I don't want to develop it (it can be)I also don't want to cut 40 acres of grass, I too am looking into government subsidy. I would rather see the government give monies to farmers and land owners who are doing what they can to perserve the wildlife in our area, then have them sell it to build more homes that distroy the homes of the wildlife. I hadn't seen a quail in years....I did see one last week. Where do all the bird hunters go....not around here, not many birds....they need brush and grass to reproduce, eat, and hide in. Come on Joe, it's not like these people are taking something that isn't there, they are helping to protect our environment and our wildlife and our government.
ReplyDelete9:21
ReplyDeleteNot only 21801 and 21804. I wondered why Donald Hales was not listed under either of these zip codes. He's under a zip code of 21802, and the amount is a whopping $274,608.90
This is unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteI have heard about this for years, but seeing the list really hits home doesn't it?
I ran the Pocomoke zip code and wasn't surprised by the names I saw but was shocked by the amounts.
No wonder these people always have new cars, clothes, etc.
Some of these farmers have their farm listed under different companies in addition to their own names, with different parts of their farms receiving separate payments, including trusts.
One of the things that this website pointed out is that farmers have benefited from historically high grain prices over the last few years with record profits being reported, (even with higher fuel costs) yet the government wants to extend these 'Direct Payment' subsidies for another five years!!!
We are living in a very backward society. People complain about welfare recipients, getting food stamps and free medical care. But these are the same people that I see on this list receiving a far greater welfare check than any amount than a single mother would ever make in a lifetime by getting pregnant multiple times to increase the size of her check.
You can also bet these same farmers who recive thousands of $ in farm subsidies and record grain prices are the first ones to accuse "welfare mothers" of working the system and being lazy!!
ReplyDelete"I hadn't seen a quail in years....I did see one last week."
ReplyDeleteIf I had seen it, I'd of shot it.
Come on folks! There are strict rules that govern what land is let into the CRP program. If you divide the $ amount by the number of acres and the number of years in the program, it comes down to less than $200 per acre per year to protect the environment and to feed wild life. Landowners are NOT getting the amount shown every year, it is a cumulative total.
ReplyDeleteThere is a small creek right off of the Wicomico River that runs for 1/2 mile into my farm. Is it better to have runoff, or a buffer? CRP set aside land on the shore is vital to the water quality and well being of the wildlife here. People bitch when you develope the land, and now they are bitching when you don't..... You can't have it both ways folks.

10:555 said, "I don't want to develop it (it can be)I also don't want to cut 40 acres of grass, I too am looking into government subsidy."
ReplyDeleteThat's fine, but then you try to say the reason you are doing this is for some sense of environmentalism. Really, you don't want to mow 40 acres! And you bought the land knowing how big it is. I'm all for preserving the land and setting as much as possible aside for wildlife, but you are being disingenuous. If protecting wildlife was your main motive, you could donate the land to an environmental group. What you want is to hold onto the land, get gov't money to not use it, and then ultimately sell it for a profit. Just be honest about it, and don't complain about anyone else who receives gov't handouts.
This is to 10:55. It is not my problem you decided to buy 40 acres of land that needs to have the grass cut--cut your own grass. What you do with your 40 acres should be your problem--not the taxpayers. Apparently you must have some money or you couldn't afford 40 acres. You guys kill me.
ReplyDelete10:55 Poor me I own 40 acres and don't know what to do with it so I'll get money from the goverment to help me out. Okay your not a farmer, you don't like to cut grass, and you are rich. Why did you buy that land anyway? You would have been better off with a condo.
ReplyDeleteLast week it was the wine glasses for the Wine Festival that taxpayers have to pay for and now we have to pay farmers to stay home and not use their land.
ReplyDeleteWhere does it end. It seems to me that no one is working anymore. Blacks wait for the check, farmers wait for the check, and there are tons of people collecting disability (white and black) that you don't even realize. In my neighborhood there are 4 white males that collect disability and their wives go to work. I see them cutting grass, putting up Christmas decorations and walking around the neighborhood during lunch with their IPODs. My own brother-in-law is on disability and he's perfectly fine. Half of the police force is on disability. Where does this abuse of the system end.
If you check 21804 you will see that even Peninsula Urology has received more than $25,000 over the last five years. Everyone is in on it.
ReplyDeleteI am blown away. I've lived here all my life and I wasn't able to connect the dots.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that virtually our entire population is feeding at the public's expense.
Are there any true Americans left out there who are not on public assistance?
Joe, you deserve a PULITZER PRIZE on this one.
I'm serious, I'm going to notify the Pulitzer Board. When entering some of the zip codes it appears virtually everyone is on the public dole.
Is there a government handbook available for people like me who want to learn how to wean the system.
These programs do prevent land from being developed (thank goodness something does).
ReplyDeleteI purchased 100 acres that was in the MALF program, but took it out, not to develop it, but because I do not want the government to tell me when I can cut my grass!!!!
The government programs are NOT easy to deal with as a landowner - your land is basically useless most of the year.
Yes, but how much do all these people also pay in property and real estate taxes into the system, I am sure a heck of alot more than what they have receieved in the CRP programs over the past 10 years. Welfare recipients dont't work or pay into the system AT ALL.
ReplyDeleteIs this the secretary of Maryland's "Dept. of Planning", appointed by Martin O'Money???
ReplyDeleteRichard Hall Salisbury, MD 21801 $ 23,818.00
Fed up,
ReplyDeleteThat's not true--since "welfare reform" took place, there's a limit on how much you can collect without working. And the limits are much, much smaller than some of the farmers and corporate welfare programs like this are paying out to individuals, corporate farms, and businesses. We just don't call it welfare, but it is our tax money that is being used. Everyone needs to wake up and quit blaming "welfare moms" as the scapegoat when their piece of the pie is tiny.
you mean like our welfare to the old mall developers?
ReplyDeleteFIRST OF ALL BEFORE YOU GO POINTING FINGERS AT WHO IS GETTING $ AND SITTING ON LAND! I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT LEWIS RILEY IS NOT LIKE THAT AND EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE MAY THINK ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY, THEY ARE WRONG!! HE IS A GREAT MAN AND HAS DONE ALOT FOR OUR COMMUNITY IN AND OUT OF POLITICS! I THINK ITS JUST JEALOUSY TOWARDS A MAN WHO HAS ACCOMPLISHED WHAT HE HAS IN HIS LIFETIME! FARMING IS MORE OF A HOBBY FOR HIM THAN ABOUT $. BUT I DONT SEE ANYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT FOOD ON THEIR TABLE? GEE, WONDER WHERE THAT CAME FROM? WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO RESPECT, LET ALONE PRIVACY!!!
ReplyDeleteI feel so stupid, It never occurred to me to buy farm land and make money not growing anything on it. By the way, To anon 10:28 I know of a couple on this list that do not claim to be good Christians.
ReplyDeleteI know someone who has farmland and the FED's are paying him for NOT farming.
ReplyDeleteFed Up,
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should change your screen name...
When you speak of these good farmers paying property taxes, I think that maybe if you are a farmer you don't realize just how little property zoned Ag pays in taxes. If your not a farmer; farmers pay but a fraction of what residential, or commercial taxes and if you add in city taxes on top of it, they not even close to the average rate.
To all the Anons who did not click on the link that Joe provided. If you click on the link and then click on a particular farmers name; especially those with *'s by their names you will see that means that they are multiple property or farm business owners in multiple counties doing business under multiple names and collecting subsidies on all. Also if you keep clicking you will see how much each farm has recieved from the federal government since 1996 in grand total. There are people that I know who have made millions that are on this list.
The subsidies were originally set aside to help the family farmer, but on many of these as you keep clicking and follow ownership history you will see that they are trusts, LLC's and other types of Corporations.
To the Anon who thinks that this money is just for land banking...it is not. There is payment for that in addition to at least a dozen other line items that they are getting paid for including commodity certificates, and loan deficiancy payments. Please educate yourself and read through these name and click on all of the links provide on a particular farmer/corporate farm.
By the way most of the money is disbursed to the corporate farmer, and anyone with half a brain can register a corporation, and with the kind of money that is available they would be stupid not to.
I would like to say this.
That without farmers there would of course be no food, and I am glad to live in an area that has the amount of farmers that we do. I like seeing things grow, and the miracle of life in action.
However, I as a being married to serial entrepenur have never had the luxury of being handed oodles of money just because we are a business.
These types of programs need to be revisited and revisited quick. A business is a business, and it is risky. You have your good years and your bad years, but recieving hundreds of thousands of dollars over and above your profits at the end of the year is incomprehensible. This is not the American way. We all make a choice of what we want to be when we grow up, and whatever that is the government shouldn't be paying you to do it unless you are a government employee.
hey Albero - you ARE on the list - you just didn't look in the tight place - try your home address -
ReplyDeleteThis is just an example of the convoluted mess that has become government. We pay folks to plant and pay folks not to plant. Taking advantage of the opportunity created by the pork barrel mentality that is our legislative branch does not make anyone on the list a bad person. Just playing the hand delt in the game they are playing.
ReplyDeleteanonymous 7:59, I live in Delaware. NOT Maryland.
ReplyDeleteRE: 10:44 Posting
ReplyDeleteIf farming is a hobby for Lewis Riley . . . then why in the hell did he take on a $417,000 subsidy.
Did he not apply?
Look, I know he's committed a lot of time to public service. . . but all of this just plain out looks bad. What else can you say.
Just because everyone else has jumped in the pool doesn't make it right.
Wymsie is right. . . look at the different angles at attempts to receive even more subsidies.
LLCs, Corporations, wife's name, cousin's name, they're all doing it using every imaginable means possible.
Please, look close at the list of names. . . pages upon pages of them. Just key-in the zip codes.
These guys are getting paid not to plant, to plant, to plant certain things, if the crop is huge, if the crop is wiped out, if the prices of the commodity drops, and if the prices of the commodity goes up, for nutrient management and on and on.
ReplyDeleteClick through under one persons name on all of the different items.
It is absolutely unbelievable! It is not just about land banking!
Obama says he will give me more! Come on Obama!!!!!!
ReplyDelete40 acres and a mule!
ReplyDeleteis this money tax exempt?
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely stunned at the shear numbers of beneficiaries.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention the subsidy amounts.
Where did you get this list. I recognize so many people and I know a lot of them are riding around in huge 4 wheel drive trucks or SUVs.
I've got to inform some of my family members about this.
Heres the REAL irony-while these people collect government money,the guys actually farming their land and feeding the nation are struggling to survive.
ReplyDeleteRE: bluetojthetotmom
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more. A lot of these farmers aren't even hooking the tractors to the plows. They have hired tenants to perform their work for them, then, they keep the subsidy and allow their tenants to perform the work at a fixed price.
IN OTHER WORDS WHILE THE TENANTS MASH THE POTATOES THE SUBSIDY RECEIVERS ARE GETTING ALL THE GRAVY.
it seems some of the people on the list have never recieved any of the money shown on the list.The state doesn't know anythung about this list when I MADE AN INQUIRY.Maybe your just jealous or have a bone to pick with these people all I ever see from you is sour grapes. Try printing something positive for a change
