Lots of people went hungry all the time, but few starved to death. FDR wanted to prop up farm prices. I'm not saying I agree, but that's what did happen historically. My understanding is that it only kinda sorta worked.
I have a family story that a relative was paid to slaughter a bunch of pigs and not put them on the market. The story is, that he took the money, and sold the meat elsewhere.
