I try to school you over the years but like d2 you remain daft and hard headed. If farmers today are not even using the land they have, why would they run to lease more land? Unless there is a profitable market, farmers will not invest in any crop.
In addition, the discussion was not about established farmers, but rather doling out lease land to cane cutters with a hope and a prayer, no market, no financing to develop the land and no machinery.
