BERRY VS. AFRICA: Here are two links that may make my stance in the post below clearer.

U.S. Exports Misery to Africa With Farm Bill (Link via Peter Maass.) This is a fantastic article with a good, quick summary of the subsidies –> overproduction problem.

Seeking Trade, Africans Find Western Barriers

Both links require (free) registration; sorry.

Anyway, so, if Wendell Berry has addressed this stuff, let me know. Because I read these articles and get sad, furious, and in no mood to hear about how we should subsidize local farmers and stop importing goods. If you want more info on this sort of story, trawl through Brink Lindsey‘s site for a while.
