I can tell you're a you un. 

Set asides certainly worked in that they cut supply. CRP cut supply, even though I personally loathed it as a young farmer. 

The problem with thinking "outside" the normal corn/bean rotation box, is that as soon as enough people do it, that box fills up, as well. And most of the "specialty" crop boxes fill up really fast. 

There already are 10 farm equipment manufacturers(more than that, actually) U.S. farmers just don't buy them. 

Real Estate and equipment prices have been rising steadily ever since the Farm Debt Crisis in the 1980's. If anything, land prices have leveled off some since 2020. Y'all need to find another bogeyman other than the Fed. Maybe actually learn about financial volatility and economic downturns and recessions/depressions before Nixon took us off the Gold Standard. It wasn't some Panacea.
