    Nope because farmers will typically destroy produce to avoid crashing the price.

    Expect large portions of the crops to be burned this year.

      Farmers won’t destroy anything unless they get paybacks for it. If you have 2,000 pounds of an item and need to get rid of it, you get rid of it for whatever price you can. Maybe larger companies will go in 'cohoots" but yes, prices should fall on products made here that were supposed to go over seas till next season when they plant less, and plant more of what they believe is more profitable… or not at all
