Major Major's father, yeah:

His specialty was alfalfa, and he made a good thing out of not growing any. The government paid him well for every bushel of alfalfa he did not grow. The more alfalfa he did not grow, the more money the government gave him, and he spent every penny he didn't earn on new land to increase the amount of alfalfa he did not produce. Major Major's father worked without rest at not growing alfalfa. On long winter evenings he remained indoors and did not mend harness, and he sprang out of bed at the crack of noon every day just to make certain that the chores would not be done. He invested in land wisely and soon was not growing more alfalfa than any other man in the county. Neighbors sought him out for advice on all subjects, for he had made much money and was therefore wise. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap,” he counseled one and all, and everyone said “Amen.”

It's a dumb take, though. The US used to have a subsidy program to prevent oversupply and overworking the fields. Farmers could incentives to fallow their land, which reduces erosion and soil nutrient depletion, instead of pushing it all into production. When Reagan's Secretary of Ag turned it around into production subsidies, commodity prices crashed, farmers got bought out by larger agribusinesses because they couldn't compete, and now the Great Plains is being plowed into the Gulf of Mexico. We're headed for a second Dust Bowl and it's a direct result of these policies.
