Subsidized farming may not be the best system, granted...But, so long as the government has it's hand in manipulating commodity prices for the benefit of each administrations personal agendas, farmers have at times become dependent upon subsidies to maintain profitability. While it's possible to keep one's head above water in bad years, the level of investment required to put out a crop deserves a guaranty of a fair return on that investment. Only an idiot would walk away and leave money that's theirs laying on the table. If/when we ever get a system where prices are driven totally and freely by market value, we can go forward WITHOUT subsidies to protect the ag economy. Anyone who survived farming in the 1980's knows just how important subsidies can be.
