can we eliminate agriculture subsidies so we can cut production and reduce...

...the amount of wasted food? ag subsidies encourage production. About half the food in the US is wasted. We could save energy and reduce the federal budget by eliminating subsidies.

Yes, we should eliminate subsidies and run all US farmers out of business. No farmers. Maybe we could end up like in Zimbabwe. We could eat boiled rats and watch the children starve to death. What a grand idea!

The subsides exist for a reason as the previous post by a farmer explains. Farmers can have a tough time making money, think about....in a good growing year, all farmers have good growing conditions, therefore their is alot of corn on the market, therefore demand decreases and the price per bushel drops. In a bad year, every farmer has a bad year and the price is high because their not enough corn to supply demand. "Wasted food" could be used as an biomass energy source.
