      No, they meant what they said. USAID buying their products to feed starving people around the world. USAID was killed by Elon/Trump. They estimate six million people around the world could starve. USAID was 0.6% of the federal budget.

        Oh, that poster was trying to correct me saying USDA instead of USAID? You’re right of course, I meant USAID, NOT USDA. USAID is (was) a large purchaser of farm products which it would send around the world feeding starving populations. USAID is (was?) a giant customer of US Farmers buying up huge amounts of grains. It would purchase $3B in agricultural commodities giving a huge injection of cash to US Farmers.
