I see you’re taking heat for this, but you are right. The governments Cheap Food Policy has worked very well since at least the 1950’s.
Generally, it puts a floor on prices, insuring that farmers won’t go out of business, and also indirectly establishes a ceiling on prices.
The result is a lot farmers who are always living on the verge of bankruptcy, just one or two crops away from financial disaster.
The second result, which has been the governments primary objective, is massive amounts of foodstuffs at very low prices.
Hats off to the AMerican Farmer for surviving all this meddling.
Thanks for bringing the truth to another ‘bash the farmer’ thread.
