I was being somewhat sarcastic and focusing on the term “subsistence” as in raising food, animals and fiber mostly for one’s own use. With the exception of Native Americans, the Amish and some few other oddball examples there are not any. Family farms as a for profit business certainly exist they just follow many different models than in the past. I am not however in favor of farm subsidies just to smooth out the market for family farms.

You obviously need to get out more. I see them everywhere. Do you live in the city? Perhaps your definition is a little unrealistic and don’t take into account those folks who sell corn or cattle to pay their taxes, electric bills and living expenses.
Either way, destroy their industry and you will eventually starve.
