Did you really build that with no help from anyone?


Let's see, there's Government Subsidies to Agriculture 
  • Direct cash payments made to farmer-producers when farm commodity prices fall, in order to make up for their financial losses.
  • Loans with no penalty for default are granted to farmers by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The loans, in effect, are a gift, since defaults are not penalized.
  • The USDA sells insurance against weather and pest damage to crops at affordable prices. (Claims are paid with taxpayer money)
  • In addition to payments from government insurance, farmers may also receive government disaster aid (cash payments) if crop damage is suffered.
Jeez!  That sounds like help to me.
