Yes, there are certainly down sides to our farm policies.  There would be down sides if the government got completely out of it as well.  Some of those down sides could likely be far worse than the current downsides.  I've heard credible arguements on both sides.  I come down on the side of farm subsidies for now.

The article was written by an advocate for farmers.  I don't see a problem with that.  On this forum there are very few representatives of farmer's points of view.  It seems only reasonable that an advocate speak for them.

There will be many who speak out against farm subsidies.

What you are saying is that sometimes theft is justified. The government is taking money that belongs to one person to give to another. It is theft, pure and simple.

Only capitalists.
