Some of these programs came from the 20-30s and the dust bowl days. The mechanization of the farmer allowed him to plow and grow more. The railroad allowed him to sell in more areas.
This was probably the first trouble with a local (U.S.A.) global economy. The farmer made more so he plowed and grew more. The problem is that all the farmers where in this crop gold rush so the more he plowed and grew, the faster the dust bowl days came on and the less he actually made because he was competing with everybody and the price was falling. So the government set up price controls to keep the price stable to higher by paying farmers not to grow.
I don't think these programs were ever meant to enrich the super farms or Dan Rather.
