Oh, I thought you were talking about not harvesting the corn once it was ready.

federal government literally paid farmers to not harvest crops

If it was already harvested and then left to rot, that was market manipulation of some sort. Maybe Grangers and breaking the rail monopolies? Though I think they did the whole "left harvested food to rot" bit in the late 1800s, not early 1900s
