And if his parents had not bought food from US farmers the US farmer would have failed long ago.
Farmers can complain all they want but with no one to buy what they produce where would they be?
Lets say a new foreign food source shows up and hit stores near you dropping demand for US grown foods to near zero? What happens then? So the farmer is no more important than the person buying his products. Without customers you fail.
And while the above hasn't happened you are seeing a large number of people who no longer buy anything on the shelf. People are reading labels and are saying "I'm not eating that or feeding it to my kids". Kinda funny to stop that a convenience store between 6:30 and 7:30. Watch the young adults buying snacks to take to the job site. Lot of them are actually reading the label. One of the big things they are looking for are the words "GMO FREE". And no, in my area I'm not talking people with suit and tie professional level jobs. Most of the ones you see are young farm/construction workers.
And then you can find reports of billions of bushels of corn and beans still in the bins from last year. And then see thousands of acres of corn and beans yet to be harvested here. So where is the point of respect? I respect a farmer who tries something different. But the guy still doing the corn bean rotation all the while crying for a bailout? How am I supposed to respect that?
