They're not going to wake up until they go to the supermarket and bread is $6 a loaf.
It's almost that now. At least what I buy. Orowheat, I have been using for years is 3 bucks a loaf at Costco. Daves is not much better. Kroger runs a special every so often.

The floods of 2019 did a lot of them in, too ... (Trump’s tariffs and bad weather take toll on U.S. farmers) so no, not surprised if they utilized the farm bill subsidies. There are more corporate farms though today, than family owned, so there's that.
We also import more foods than we grow to eat here --- so there's that too.
"This statement from the United States Department of Agriculture is clear. The demand for imported foods and beverages has been steadily increasing. With data provided from the U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, we will look at the amount of money spent on food and beverage imports in the U.S. from 1999 to 2017. The data set used here contains ‘the import values of edible products (food and beverages) entering U.S. ports’ determined to be imports by their origin of shipment. Food imports are not a small part of our economy or diet. Americans and American corporations spent 136 billion dollars in 2017 on food and beverages from other countries. From 1999 to 2017, the amount the U.S. spent on food imports has risen over 300% ($43.1 Billion in 1999 to $136.2 Billion in 2017). The only yearly decline occurred during the 2008 recession."
If we are trying to (MAGA) keep money in house --- that shipped sailed.
