But farmers won't keep raising crops and livestock if they're losing money on every transaction. I remember times in the 90's when hog prices dropped so low we lost money on every pig we sold. My dad's solution was to stop breeding the pigs for a few months until prices started to climb again.

Now crops are different because of crop insurance subsidized by the federal government. But crop insurance is on the chopping block thanks to DOGE as well.
