There is not enough significant cash in the supposed US 'subsidies' to breed
inefficiencies. All that happens is there is a floor price which barely
covers the cost of production during a year of low prices.
Now if Kiwi MPC did not displace the US milk powder in our cheese vats, the
USA being a dairy deficit production country would have zip, zero, nada to
export. So your theories again are shown to be false. A deficit production
country can't dump on other markets unless there are outside influences,
which is what your MPC, casein and commodity cheese are.

A well paid farmer cares for his animals and his land. A poor farmer is
forced into abuse of animals, land and even family which is evident when you
travel to poor 3rd world countries in Africa. You see over-grazing, land
abuse, unhealthy skinny animals and worse caused by farming in desperation.
Now, you're quick to blame US corn farmers for the world's ills. No. US
food aid feeds poor peoples and their livestock. The problem is usually
the dictator govt. of those nations. If you examine the nation's ravaged
by poverty, civil war, and human abuses, you'll find the Islamists at fault
in over 50% of the cases. No, the US, nor its corn farmers, did not create
the he-- hole situations in the Sudan, in Somalia, in Iran, in Vietnam, in
Red China, in Cuba, etc. Their nasty dictatorial leadership, including
extremist Islam, created those problems.

Now if you truly feel it is the eeeevul USA corn farmers causing stavation
in Africa, etc., then NZ should export some of their surplus cheese and
powder to feed those folks, rather than leave it up to the USA.
