Which of course do nothing but make food more expensive.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Zero, Nada.
We have the cheapest, most abundant, most varied, food supply in the entire history of the world.
Up until now it has been highly subsidized. We have now entered a (possibly) short period of time where real competition for those cheap food stuffs is occurring. Competition that outstrips the price protections, both up and down.
Carefully crafted, finely tuned, annually adjusted government subsidies and acreage controlled price supports are giving way to farmers freedom to do what they have wanted to do since the 50’s, grow huge crops, and get paid to do it.
The government programs no longer have enough money to exert the control over farmers production, either in crop or acreage, so the farmers are going where the money is. And it isn't in producing cheap foodstuffs.
