I have had 3 parties here over the weekend. I didn't even advertise. Word of mouth.
Grit, it is what it is. All the Angus and Simmental breeders in Kentucky ride that bandwagon.
That's good for those that don't want to talk bad about the deadbeats, freeloaders and government watse. My family came here as emigrants, they asked the government for nothing besides a chance to work, and have been paying taxes ever since. I can't understand your way of life.
It is not one cent of government dollars nor any tax dollars. It is a deal the state made with 5 tobacco companies to stop suing over health problems from smoking. Big tobacco is paying for those heifers!
Crep or crap usually called here is a total waste of my tax dollars. There are farms here bought enrolled and payed for with this crap. It was good for the wild life. But what a waste of money imho.
I have got my share of caip money. That they say its to help wean us off growing tobacco still putting out a big crop this year. Welfare call it what you want. Big tobacco already pays me alot of money each year.
