[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 74439541, member: 302807"] According to who? We have a large amount of land for grazing now....I don't know if we can get more, or if what we have now could possibly support a massive increase in cattle. Frankly, I doubt if you know either. Neither of who raise cattle. What do ranchers say? Artificially? You have any proof cattle ranchers don't want cheap feed that fattens up cattle quickly? Lo because nothing has changed in the past 40 years? Farms go bust [I][B]now[/B][/I]. You want to upend the whole industry. It's not subsidized due to low demand lol. Demand is actually high....subsidizing them let's them artificially lower prices. This keeps food cheap which in turn benefits the poorest of us. Think of it as food stamps only instead of handing the poor stamps for food, we're handing farmers a check to sell at a lower price. This benefits the poorest of us the most....since they don't pay federal taxes but they too get the benefit. If you stopped subsidizing corn, everything that corn goes into would dramatically increase in cost due to the high demand. I'm not heating my house with corn....what do you think it's used for other than consumption? You mistakenly believe that we import it because not enough is made here... in reality, it's cheaper imported. Again, in this post, you've demonstrated you don't really understand the market. If we flood the market with fruits and vegetables that are cheaper to import....what's going to happen? First, supply will outstrip demand....and prices will drop. Along with prices, profits for farms will drop. When that happens....farms go bust. [/QUOTE]
