Wow, tin foil hat time! haha

The problem with AG, technological advances have made it so we don't need as many people to produce Ag goods as we once did... so there are more people who WANT to farm than we NEED to farm. So, they bid up rent and land to stay in the game. Then instead of letting the whole industry correct itself, by punishing the operations that pay to much for land (rent), the govt. steps in and pumps billions in subsidies. So, people just tack that subsidy to what they are willing (or able) to pay for rent and keep on keeping on... MOAR CORN. The paradigm shift in Ag won't come until the subsidy punch bowl is taken away, then land values can correct and prudent managers will be rewarded. Until then, its just a game of pay whatever it takes to get it and farm the programs and cry about how the payment caps need to be raised!
