S Illinois | I noticed you used the word commodity and not food. Why if one is worried about the food supply focus on the commodity part? Much easier to plant a field of corn than it is to build a factory to process that corn. Even the animal feeding world which is a step closer to the final consumption product is more tenuous than growing the commodity. Would seem like the logical thing to do would be to focus on the bottleneck of food production and that is not the growing of corn and soybeans.
You also said “big picture policies”. What are those policies? Is CRP, PP rules, wetland/sodbuster part of that big picture? How about pushing for export markets.
Additionally why focus so much legislative time and dollar to things like cotton, peanuts, rice? What big picture goal is there when the vast majority of something like cotton is exported. Or the yearly per person consumption of something like peanuts is minimal in the caloric intake of the average American?
