in fairness to farmers who have been dependant upon the system for a while, lets do a smooth transition. notify them that we are phasing it out, give them their same market share for a few years (maybe 5), and after that, notify them that they will have to compete on the open market.
5 years is plenty of time to make decisions, and certainly more time than poor taxi drivers had to compete with disruptive industries like uber.
