You do know there are other countries that can produce wheat, a lot more wheat than Kansas, for instance Argentina (currently produces twice as much wheat as Kansas and that's after they went way down because they switched to soybeans) or my own country Uruguay.

If there was scarcity of wheat, be assured we'd cover it.

BTW, we can cover scarcity of pot as well :) (it's legal here)

Lol. “High.” However seriously if wheat prices rose, more farmers would grow wheat and prices would return to equilibrium — people being paid subsidies to grow nothing would suddenly find it profitable to grow wheat. Supply and demand works. The real problem is that farming is so heavily subsidized that actual supply and demand doesn’t always result in correct prices.

Presumably some more natural price equilibrium would be established.
