With food shortages worsening, Biden urges farmers to stop farming to slow climate change
Dubious program makes no financial sense to growers

The Biden administration's costly pipe dream of making nearly every one of its agenda items focused on combatting "climate change" is running into the brick wall of reality.
The latest taxpayer-funded boondoggle involves a program that encourages farmers to grow "carbon-capturing" crops that remove carbon dioxide from the air and divert it into the soil, Politico reported Tuesday.
However, the program doesn't compensate farmers enough to make them overhaul the way they farm and reduce the amount of food they produce.
"While corporations are eager to buy credits that pay farmers to pull carbon dioxide out of the air and into their soil, the credits aren’t yet lucrative enough to entice enough farmers to rethink how they grow crops to maximize capturing carbon," Politico's Helena Bottemiller Evich and Ryan McCrimmon wrote.
Accordingly, most farmers aren't participating in this "climate change" apparatus even if they wanted to because they simply can't afford to.
