Yes. I would have to find an alternative crop that looked better for me. For the moment, my guess is that I would probably go to more corn, just as a practical matter. Corn is not so heavily subsidized. The $1.89 I am guaranteed is not as attractive as the $5.40 for the other situation. On the other hand, other farmers have calculated that, too. So they have planted less corn, not added more beans. They all might shift back, so it makes agriculture interesting.
