In economics, "demand" isn't just a word for "something I'd like". It's a technical term, meaning "what actually gets bought". Farmers in Alabama fretting does not mean demand. Farmers in Alabama paying workers means demand. To put it another way, me looking at a Ferrari in a store doesn't create demand for Ferraris. Me going to the store and buying one does.
