US farm policy is a complex multi-headed hydra just as is US energy policy or any other area of national interest. The days of non-government interference are long gone for all.
We are currently (and have been for approximately 20 years) engaged in continuing international negotiations regarding US and world farm policies. It would be imo very short-sighted to US economic interests to not continue such negotiations but it would also be quite short-sighted to not ensure that the other nations make similar modifications to their policies. The problem so far has been that most of the trade agreements which have been signed have been kept by the US but not by the foreign nations. This, btw, is not a unique situation for agriculture--it is a general pattern of US trade policy, it seems.
