@mthierry this discussion is heavily focused on corn (a bit under 100M acres), which is a direct result of the policies we put into the 2002 farm bill which is being carried forward. You may have missed those details in the thread.

See, the Dems can't really fight this because the farm bill also includes the food stamps program. But we now have 20+ years of massive subsidies which is essentially buying the votes of all those farmers...
