It should be illegal to force farmers to dump their harvests like this. Instead of dumping 14% of this crop, wouldn't make more sense to harvests 100% and ship 14% of the harvest somewhere that could use it and aren't ever going to be customers of the remaining harvest? Ship it to Haiti, Ethiopia, the Sudan, etc.
