"You're clueless about supply and demand."
I'd say the same about you. How how long do you think cities would survive without fresh supplies of food and water? A few days? A week maybe?
We control the water and can get all the food we need from California or Mexico.
Fail.
You forget we just keep you hicks around because we feel sorry for you.
If no one buys your corn, you starve.
If no one buys my corn I won't starve because I can eat it myself and save all the trouble of sending it off to a bunch of ungreatful assholes. You can try planting corn on concrete and assphalt and see how that works for you
The bulk of your crop goes bad. (because you can't eat it all and keep it fresh)
Then you owe the bank a debt.
WE OWN YOU. YOU LOSE YOUR FARM. WELL PLAYED!!

Do I need to go on....
Most farmers have no debt. They have been buying land with cash. It is not anything like it was during the depression, in the late 70's or the subprime housing market. Farm land went up as commercial & housing plumited this time. It was not banks lending to farmers. It was farmers using their cash to buy land & expand their operation.
Farmers will not go bankrupt. You don't own farmers. They don't have to make payments. They own you. They can store their grain for a few years & not plant their fields. You will be screwed when that happens.
Even if some farmers went bankrupt, the field still would not get planted & you still starve.
Where do you get this?
You could not be more wrong.
Farmers are a dying breed.
