And most of the money is going to the big corporate owned farms, not Joe the Nice Family Farmer. Yeah sure, the small farms get a few crumbs too but the lion's share of all this is actually inverted socialism going to the wealthy large industrial scale farms.
When you think of farming, farms and farmers in this country today, think of it the way you think of film and video production. Yeah sure, there's a crap ton of small potatoes guys like me, who get a few glammo gigs but who by and large produce a lot of corporate and training stuff and small local ad spots, but there's also the vast sprawl of gigantic commercial studio operations, the elite high end outlets, the television production companies and the vast multinational ad agencies.
Most of the food we sell or eat comes from the big corporate farms, and most of the film and TV stuff we watch comes from the elite high end outlets. It works much the same way, only big corporate farmers don't have agents.
