Some subsidies are more equal than others.
In my younger years I did a lot of business with farmers.
They put on a good show about being the most down-to-earth, rock-ribbed, God-fearing patriotic Conservatives to ever inhabit this continent.
Until you get between them and their favorite subsidy.
Then it’s Katy Bar the Door!
I was very active with farmers on record keeping, taxes and business analysis in the 80’s when govt began it’s big intrusion into agriculture.
One of my better profit managers absolutely refused to participle. would not take any govt money. It drove him out of business.
Now, having said that, as a citizen, do you want NO GOVT INVOLVEMENT IN AGRICULTURE?
If you look at at history, there are a few proper roles of government in agriculture. Unfortunately there has been too much mission creep to those original goals. I will let those who have a thinking cap work on this. But most here don’t want to think.
A side note. In the 80’s the mission was to “save the family farm”. In one honest interaction, a congressman said to me, “we’ve been trying to save the family farm for 50 years, did we even get close?” But he couldn’t say it publicly.
