Generally speaking the answer is No. It pays about the same.

I think the point is that the gov’t isn’t creating an artificial demand for those other products,
and the free market would direct the use of the land to other products than corn.

Farmers have overproduced corn and now the price is low. If too many plant corn this year, the price will go lower.

Probably not. But the lobby is probably more powerful.
