Another possibility, at even lower cost, would be to simply authorize government loan guarantees for loans to purchase seed and supplies, with a requirement that the loans be made at the lowest possible interest rates—around 2% or lower (which is feasible given that banks pay less than 1% for short-term funding today). Then commercial banks could handle the whole problem with very minimal government activity required. This is also a good justifiable way for the GOP to chop some political wood in an election year.
