So world wheat production is a responsibility of
US farmers(Overall food volume has went up
to feed the world).That is stupid under the the way
conditions have been. Three conditions actually,
that sent the market wrong signals to not increase
wheat as much as it should. First countries with huge
starving populations exported food, second our gov giving
price supports just covering production costs,
and third you who don’t want any price supports and
yet want food for nothing. Farmers can’t up production
if the system tells them it isn’t wanted, or system
tells them it must be done for nothing. They can only
do so much for nothing. By the way what is
E85????????????????????????????

You've got to stop being so defensive about this. It isn't "US farmers vs The World" it is a matter of public policy. The world wide policy of burning food for fuel. It is politicians who are driving this policy.

Farmers do what is in their best interest. They sell food to people who are willing to buy. That include farmers in other countries with starving populations that export grain to be made into fuel.

you who don’t want any price supports and yet want food for nothing.

I don't want food for nothing. I want government to stop distorting the food market with these dubious plans. I don't know if I can stop them from burning food at the rate they are but there are people out there (presidential candidates) who want to increase the rate of food burning by a factor of five. That's five times the farmland, the farm equipment and the farmers that we are using now.

Are you telling us that US farmers don't want to sell more food, thus making more money?
