Amazing coming from a conservative-oriented website !

Central planning cannot replicate a free market. Bureaucrats will never give us a healthy farm sector. We don’t need to be subsidizing any farm, personal or corporate.

And BTW, many family farms are small corporations (LLC) these days. It’s a liability thing.

Amazing coming from a conservative-oriented website!  I think that's a fair comment.  I'm still not convinced that getting what you want here is going to provide the nirvana you desire.  It could just as easily cause a significant number of farms to go under, contributing to severe food shortages and civil unrest.

Central planning cannot replicate a free market. Bureaucrats will never give us a healthy farm sector. We don’t need to be subsidizing any farm, personal or corporate.  If you're addressing the Constitutionality of farm subsidies, I don't think you'd find a way to validate it based on Constitutionality.  That alone is reason enough to argue against them.

And BTW, many family farms are small corporations (LLC) these days. It’s a liability thing.  Fair enough, but a mere formality concerning family farms doesn't exactly meet the corporate giant status that most people are seeking to rebel against concerning this matter.

I do see farm subsidies as problematic.  I do not see eradicating them all as being free from a new set of problems, that could swamp the perception that subsidies were wrong.

I appreciate your take on it.
