I read of milk farmers dumping milk when prices were too low.

It happens from time to time. Been happening as long as I remember.
My guess is you don’t know much about commercial farming.

The government has been telling farmers to destroy their crops for decades. I never understood it.

Sure. I’m 71 and it’s been happening as long as I’ve been alive.

farmers have to leave acreage unplanted to qualify for money so they do what they are told.

I’m 83, and that B$ was going on before I was born.

The people on the video’s were farmers and they seem to think it was unusual. They are predicting food shortages this winter.

I’m 71 and have been in horticulture/agriculture for 35yrs, after a previous career, and leaving ground fallow is a common gov’t-mandated farming practice; getting paid to do it bothers me when the world and now America, needs the grain and food..

I'd like to know more. Is this is over and above the usual price fixing subsidies the government does with farmers?

This story is total bs and has already been debunked.
I come from a farming background and the govt has never paid farmers to destroy crops.they have paid farmers for not growing crops

They are even pouring out oil on roads to waste the oil. They've been oiling roads since before I was born. Usually dirt and gravel roads.

I suspect that the reality it this is, is video of farmers cutting silage and road crews in rural counties are chip n and sealing the roads
I see both of these things every year

Those were the good old days. Unfortunately EPA made it illegal in 1990.

Pretty much all of the mechanic garages and a lot of farmers use waste oil heaters in their shops
