Get rid of ethanol mandates and there's more food, which lowers prices.
Quit paying farmers to keep their farmlands fallow and there's more food, which lowers prices.
Deport all the illegals and there are less demand for
food sold in the U.S.

A lot of them ‘illegals’ are what is the labor section
of food production especially the early stages, land
prep, planting and harvesting.
Who will do the work? Not excusing illegal immigration, but to be honest there are few people period working right now.
The corn used for ethanol is not going into human food, and the places that grow that corn do not grow human food.
With input costs the way they are, CRP land may be the only way to make positive cash flow. Even with that, most farmers are going to plant.
The question is will they harvest?
