i could believe farmers kill herds and dump milk, just cuz they do that kind of stuff anyways. We actually pay farmers not to farm. The govt I mean does. Because they don't want food being too cheap. If food is too cheap, then farmers have no incentive to produce it, then they don't and you have shortages. Farmers often threaten this kind of stuff, they have organizations they are in to agree to do this and play hardball for welfare money from govt. Last week trump announced a $19 billion economic package for farmers.
