Socialism.

Speaking as the long-time wife of a grain farmer, I can tell you several things:

1 - it is necessary for a society to be able to feed its people

2 - if a country relies on other countries for its food supplies, it can be held over a barrel very easily

3 - the American people expect cheap food

4 - weather happens, and it disrupts the food supply easily

5 - climate change means “weather is going to happen” more often

6 - if #2 is true, the same is true if large corporations are allowed to “own” the production of foodstuffs, because they will use that monopoly to make money

IMO, there is socialism, and socialism. Taking care that we have a healthy farm economy is not socialism.
