Question on tax payer

New agricultural program named as the Payment-in-Kind Program is introduced by the Reagan Administration, in the year of 1983. In order to distinguish how the program performed, consider the wheat market. Had the government not given the wheat back to the farmers, this would have stored or destroyed it. Do tax payers gain from the program? What potential problems does the program form?

Taxpayers gain since the government is not needed to store the wheat. Although everyone seems to gain from the PIK program, it can only last while there are government wheat reserves. The PIK program supposed that the land removed from production may be restored to production when stockpiles are exhausted. If it cannot be done, consumers may eventually pay more for wheat-based products. At last, farmers are taxpayers too. As producing the wheat ought to have cost something, the program offers them a windfall profit.
