[QUOTE="teslacoils, post: 9132197, member: 127792"] There has been "government" interferrence with grain production since Tudor times. Most of the "tinkering" has come about since the repeal of the corn laws - even then it was realised that our (at the time) superiour productive workforce and industrial capital meant it was better to import cheap grain from countries better suited to growing it, and redeploy rural workers to towns. Provided you are "at war" you can continue this while sustaining high prices. Once you are at peace, free market economics would hold that you stop growing grain in high cost / low margin areas of the world. From then on, its just tinkering around the edges to either a) gain votes or b) create jobs for graduates. [/QUOTE]
