How could it be? We grow it here. And we’ve already paid for it through subsidies. And buying it from China means we’d have to put it on a ship to get it here.

    That's a good question as I watch unharvested corn and soybeans rot in fields in the Midwest. You can tell subsidy fields from yield fields when it's corn going unharvested in October. If they really cared, the subsidy would only count if it was a crop that added nutrients to the soil, instead of crops that take nutrients from it.
