The farmer is the last person that is 'making a killing', as is almost always the case.

All these subsidies and trade restrictions aren't helping the farmers? Then the farmers wouldn't mind if we ended these welfare programs.

"All these subsidies and trade restrictions aren't helping the farmers?"

Your original statement was that (corn) farmers were making a killing due to the ethanol surge. I answered your misconception.

"Then the farmers wouldn't mind if we ended these welfare programs."

Most farmers that I know personally would not mind a bit. Getting regulators and speculators out of the farming business would be the best thing to happen to farmers since they started building green tractors in Moline. Do you really think that the farmer is setting the price of corn or beans or cotton? Study-up if you do
