I’m familiar with the Farm Bill. Note that food stamps are 80% of the total.

Of the remaining 20% that actually is for agriculture, more than half is subsidized crop insurance and for public-use land conservation.

I only see a mention of sugar as a crop subsidy.

Note that page 8 pf the pdf notes that direct payments for traditional commodity crops have been eliminated.
