southern MN | Govt policy does not set provisions that mandate oversupply of cars, or car parts.
Food is different, successful governments have found lots of cheap food is a good thing for those governments.
If we run out of cars, or run out of car parts, we can fix old ones, recycle parts, walk, ride the bus. Buy a bicycle. Pay more to buy the cars that are available. No big deal, someday they will build more cars and we will be ok.
If we run out of food we can't sit and wait a year to get more.
(As a first world country the USA could weather a lot of this of course, but people would be panicy. Other countries would become unstable as they would get the lack of food head on.)
Governments around the world will always mess with the cost and supply of food, always in ways to create a bigger oversupply.
That is something your auto and auto parts businesses don't have to deal with.
I don't ask for more govt intervention in farming.
But certainly can see it will always be there. Something farmers have to deal with, work with. It is a constant part of ag business.
As such, of course farmers and farm groups want some input on it.
Not that hard to figure out the differences.
