You must understand that the market controls the price. We sent ships of wheat to sea in the 1930’s and sank the vessels.
8 bucks a gallon of milk would last less than a week. Farmers might have to cut back on that new Mercedes purchase.

“You must understand that the market controls the price”

You must understand the market has had little to do with the price of food for decades.

Pull out price supports and the agriculture industry, what is left of it, will collapse. Leaving the US with inadequate food resources, tends of thousands unemployed farmers, and a need to import even more food.

The subsidies need to be cut but it needs to be done in a responsible way.
