Most of the corn and sorghum that is grown in used in animal feed, which in turn grows things we do eat.
Without the subsidies many of the smaller farms would be forced to sell their land to developers because they would go broke paying the property taxes.
I guess the farm welfare doesn't bother me as much as the other forms of welfare, after all, they DO go to work every day!
