FYI, I think crop supports / subsidies have become a relatively smaller part for DoAg’s budget, and the big money is in SNAP, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, aka “Food Stamps” (though I think it’s all EBT cards now).

Someone who researched it here on FR last week reported that actual farm subsidies are 19% of the USDA budget.

The rest goes to free food for ‘poor’ people.
