We've heard this before, a month or two ago. One thing to remember is that the AG Dept has always paid certain farmers not to produce certain crops/products in order to keep prices up for everybody else. I'm not saying they're not doing something more nefarious now, but every story where a farmer is paid not to grow something does not necessarily mean the gov't is trying to starve the people to death. So, research with discernment and make sure you have something more than just this standard price support structure.
Yes, this a lot of stuff actually gets wasted or destroyed to keep prices higher for farmers because the could not afford to grow crops. I wish there was a better way instead of destroying food that people could eat.
A better way would be get rid of food stamps, have the government (or legit charities) buy the excess and feed anyone hungry…
Yeah, I always thought with food stamps that people should have to do so many hours of community service to get them. So the ones that really needed it would do it
