I got a bunch of Tic Toks saying Biden has sent letters to farmers to destroy their crops. They are showing farmers cutting their crops down because Biden's FDA is paying 1 1/2 times the going price and threatening their subsidies if they don't do it. They are even pouring out oil on roads to waste the oil. We will be starving in 8 months. No wonder Bill Gates has been buying all the farm land.
Has anyone else heard the same thing? I'm sure there are plenty of Freepers that live in Kansas.
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.
“Sure. I’m 71 and it’s been happening as long as I’ve been alive.”
I’m 83, and that B$ was going on before I was born.
USA has a long history of government paying farmers to destroy crops.
The people on the video’s were farmers and they seem to think it was unusual. They are predicting food shortages this winter.
Wickard v Filburn has to go.

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..
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've been oiling roads since before I was born. Usually dirt and gravel roads.
It isn’t Biden, He can’t take an aspirin without a team of experts, and a swallowing coach. It is the #JihadJunta!
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
Yeah, and it’s used oil.
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
The Biden administration should love it. After we were just putting the oil back in the ground where it belongs. ;-)
