In Western MA I saw the gov step in and pay farmers not to grow potatoes.
So the Gov has been interfering in farming for almost as long as it's existed here in the US.
People seem to forget this.
When I was a kid, the school lunches were so cheap since the food came from gov buying and taking food out of circulation and still pay farmers for the "unsold" food that the gov stored in huge warehouses.
They did this until is became too expensive to ship to the schools. For a while they just threw it out as it was cheaper than distribution.
