People would absolutely panic, and the… what is it, 40% of farms with a million dollars of debt would all become instantly insolvent. A lot of land would lay fallow for a year or more because no one could afford to plant it. But afterward, there would be far less corn, far fewer beans, and a wider variety of crops across the entire nation.
And we’d be healthier. You know, after food prices tripled and all 11 of the food companies (because there aren’t any more than that) would have to reformulate everything they make.

Smaller more sustainable farms would pop up. Farm to market would increase. Land prices would drop.

If I had land that was paid for, and needed a crop to make good profit, it wouldn't be corn or soy. Rice, hemp, who gives a fuck about exports, make food or hemp and prosper

Farming is highly profitable. The only reason a farm might not be profitable is because they trusted a salesman, or because they're envious faggots that took loans on equipment they didn't need to show off to the fat faggot next door.

Besides off setting rough years why do you think they deserve subsidies ?
[–] TheManyHands 1 point 0 points 1 point (+1|-1) ago
Farmers deserve the rope for poisoning the rivers and oceans and crops with pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Those are the only farmers that get subsidized. Real farmers have to pay the organic tax and live in terror of SWAT raids.

Most medium sized farms work at a defecit because of the loans needed to be taken to be able to just opetate.

Farmers would have to grow actual food instead corn and soy.
