taxpayers supporting one segment of the population at the expense of another is not my idea of good,

A bountiful agricultural surplus benefits everybody, Gabz.
Your "idea" to produce food shortages "more efficiently" is not only pure idiocy, it is also evil.

Unless caused by a natural disaster (which no government price support can prevent or control) food shortages like you predict simply will not happen in the US. Modern agribusiness pretty much knows what the consumer wants to buy and will produce it as long a money is to be made. There is no need of a government guarantee of how much money will be made. Sure some spikes and dips in certain commodity prices will occur just like any market but we will have no overall food shortage. One year beef may be cheap next year chicken.

Taking part of my comment out of context only dilutes your already outlandish comments.

I never said any such thing.......I agreed with you that it is wasteful and inefficient. Your support shows your support of wasteful, inefficient government via taxpayer subsidies.

You obviously have me mixed up with someone else.........food rotting in warehouses because of falsely inflated prices is the idiocy.

There will be no food shortages with a gradual elimination of the subsidies. In fact I see the opposite, because prices will decline and there won't be all the waste because more people will be able to afford the stuff that is currently rotting in warehouses.
