Government subsidies
Hurrah for your comment on subsidies! I've believed for years that we ought to cut them out!
(The United States government subsidizes TOBACCO farmers, for heavens sake!) And we (the government by the people) have, for decades, paid farmers to keep land out of production, which artificially elevates the price for crops. It's not as if we don't have the resources to produce more grain!If the price for corn goes up because of demand for ethanol as well as animal feed production, then farmers will produce more grain until the price evens out again.
Thank goodness people are not all alike: life would be pretty boring if we were!
