You are incorrect here. The US would gladly give away the grain but the other countries won't accept it. Accepting it would destroy their local economies. That is why we are waisting it. We over produce because we want to keep farmers making food so we never have food shortages. The last thing we want to do is become dependent on forgeign food.
