Eh, 20 dollars actually does make sense...and It's for a good cause, and definately worth it.
I don't know, I refuse to donate to farm aid. I don't add support to any gov't subsidized establishments.

My dad's a farmer...

I appreciate what your father and most farmers do, but the subsidies the gov't feeds them is unnecessary and poor economics.
I think it was in the mid 70's the gov't over subsidized the wheat producing farmers and there were thousands of tons of surplus wheat and rather than send it to africa (who at the exact point in time was suffering from horrible famin sp.?) they dumped it all into the atlantic ocean because it's more cost effective.
