Do farmers who take subsidies to not grow crops?

Question

Affect whirled peas?

Answer 1

Not very often.  In many cases today, farmers can actually be subsidized to grow a crop that they take a financial loss for producing.  The purpose for that is to maitain the national food supply.  There have been cases in the past where farmers have been paid to not produce though.  A significant contributor to the dust bowl in the 1930's was the overproduction of wheat.  Farmers in the midwest were paid to not grow wheat to allow for conservation districts to be established and many of those areas are now national grasslands and crop production is forbidden.  Also in the 1930's, President Roosevelt passed the Ag. Adjustment Act that paid many farmers to cut crop production to cause scarcity.  The purpose of that was to reduce supply and increase prices for farmers to help the economy.  But again, most of the time in todays society it is very rare for a farmer to be paid to not grow something unless there is a significant over supply problem.  Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Nope no effect on whirled peas as peas are never subsidized in the USA, whirled or otherwise.

You want money for not growing crops you better not be growing commodity grains and livestock i.e. soya, corn/maize/wheat/cotton/canola/cattle/sw... Not growing anything else won't work.
