Taxpayers heavily subsidize corn and soy, two crops that facilitate the meat and processed food we’re supposed to eat less of, and do almost nothing for the fruits and vegetables we’re supposed to eat more of. They are trying to buy our land to make houses or factories. This proplem started to occur all the way back to 1930's when farm raised livestock and grew many different types of crops, including syaple crops, (corn, wheat, oats, barley). They also would call they specialty crops, but we know those things as vegetables.

Troy,
I am glad you go this done but it is very brief and you don't include any questions. You also didn't reply back to the people that commented.
I think they shouldn't be able to buy it because they would use it for build new houses or something else, but they won't plant fruits or vegetables. But we need more houses too because the population is rising.
I think tax payers should be able to buy crops but not land because as the United States population grows we are going to need as much land as possible to grow more crops and livestock to feed americans. When people build buildings on farm land it takes away from the amount of crops we can produce.
I think that tax payers should be able to buy the crops, but not the land, because they will most likely use the land to make something else besides growing crops. If a farmer wants to refuse to sell their land or crops, they they should have the right too.
