Oh, that poster was trying to correct me saying USDA instead of USAID? You're right of course, I meant USAID, NOT USDA. USAID is (was) a large purchaser of farm products which it would send around the world feeding starving populations. USAID is (was?) a giant customer of US Farmers buying up huge amounts of grains. It would purchase $3B in agricultural commodities giving a huge injection of cash to US Farmers.
