I'm trying to figure out why we would import wheat from China, while we pay US farmers to not grow wheat.....

(not directed at you, I just chose your post to respond to.)

I hope all FReeping dogs and cats are fine out there.

I have known several farmers in my area that make a good living off not growing several crops.

But it makes no sense to me unless we are intentionally giving away our ability to grow our own food to other countries to circumvent various policies and laws.
