Paying people not to grow crops, or to let already raised crops wilt in the field rather than go to market is awful policy.
Of course with NAFTA and the upcoming CAFTA in place we now have to subsidise or no US agribusiness will be able to compete. The market is so screwed up by US regulation and inability to tarrif imports that any hope of fair competition is long gone.
