What you friend was reffering to was the governments efforts to maintain their "price floor" for the market. With ever higher yeilding seed these days it floods the market, driving prices down, killing the small farmer. The government makes a minimum price to try and help these farmers, to maintain this price they must pay farmers not to plant. The government can get very (legally) mad at your friend becasue in planting feed corn he negated the stipends. They want him to then use the stipends to buy his corn thus improving the market. Essentially the price floor makes it illegal for farmers to even give corn away again flooding the market it is best expained in this article.
