Sadly you'll never get those farmers to agree to anything. You might talk the one crazy pants one in the entire country, who already owns his own land, equipment and everything else into cutting production for a year. However most of the farmers are either paying cash rent, share cropping, or are borrowing every dime they can just to survive. They will plant double to make up the difference. I know, both my grandfathers were high up in AAM and NFO respectively and it's same conclusion they came to back in the 70s and farmers weren't borrowing money to eat back then.
