They heavily subsidize it.


When you produce more than you consume theres no need to subsidize.

??? What on earth are you talking about??? US traditionally produced more grain than we consumed and it was in part because we did subsidize it. If you could sell something for $140 on the open market and your cost was $2 and you gave it away, did you subsidize to tune of $2 or $140? economic answer = $140.
