Taxes suck.

And I would love it if the government got out of agriculture. What they're doing is just boosting up the guys who would otherwise go broke. I'd rather they go broke and I buy their land. Farmers are doing well, but I wouldn't say the sole reason is government. Corn prices are rather poor right now if you hadn't noticed, and wheat follows corn. Beef is quite high, but the cattle industry doesn't work with the government much.

There is a massive imbalance on this planet of wealth. Much of the people that eat American staples could not afford it without government. Ending that would kill demand. Farmers then try to produce more to make up for lost income and the imbalance grows. Eventually prices will stabilize at a level that is low enough to completely discourage investment. If you want the government out of agriculture you better think of a different system to distribute wealth than we currently use. The rich can only eat so much. Without the government you would be a subsistence farmer and many of the rest of us would go hungry.
