Farm subsidies are designed to keep just enough farmers in business to keep food plentiful and relatively cheap. Give the starving dog just enough to keep it alive. Sure some get quite a bit of money, but most dont.
In the case of milk we have a perishable product that must be sold right away. So the government made up a formula to set the price of milk, unfortunately processors can manipulate things to keep the price lower than true supply and demand so the government stepped in and started making direct payments when it gets dissasterly low. Stupid in my opinion, I'd much rather see some of the loopholes closed up.
