I loved reading Grapes of Wrath in high school. How is this related to the topic?

This reaction is similar to constituents who bristle at the fact that their local library destroys old books, seeing a parallel to book burnings in 1930s Germany.

The topic at hand is market forces demanding the destruction of agricultural products. The horror of that seems very topical to me.
