Plenty of farmers have been speaking up about it for a long time and nothing useful has been done up until this point to actually bring the population under control.

Mice plagues aren't just some random hurricane that blows in. These populations take time to reach these critical masses and plenty of regular, sustained baitings, trappings, viral-vector agents, etc, could have been done on both a local, state, and corporate level.

How come these corporations that are in charge of this abundance of food not properly baiting and exterminating the rodents? Why haven't the local and state councils emplaced appropriate contingencies for this event? It's not the first time this has ever happened.

If these fucking multinational foreign-owned companies paid their fare share of tax, maybe the state government could do something about the issue instead of the useless elected clowns juat throwing their hands up saying "Whelp I Guess nothing could be done about this hyuk hyuk"
