I just found out today that the agriculture industry is a NET welfare industry, ie it gets more in government handouts/subsidies than it pays in tax dollars.
I mean, if you're going to have a whacko scheme like subsidies, why not just not tax farmers at all? And not give them anything?
Stupidity at its finest.
