Onion Futures Act – US law banning trading futures on onions

I would personally have supported both applying the ban, and then subsequently removing it. It made sense at the time. The price variances since the ban suggest it's time has passed.

ie, it's not wrong to try, and then change your mind.

Planet Money by NPR made an episode [0] on this a few years ago. I highly recommend listening to it if you're curious to know more.

>Vince Kosuga was an onion farmer back in the 1930s. A pretty successful one. But farming wasn't enough for him. He also liked to make bets on wheat and other crops. Then he had an idea: Why not try his luck with the crop he knew best?
