I was wondering if anyone agrees with farm subsidies and if so, why?
I really don't understand how it benefits America to hand over money to people for not growing crops. The idea is absurd to me.
Also, I have family that lives in the "country" as we call it down here that own farms/land/ranches. As far as I know, they never received any money from the government, nor do I think they need it.
Can someone tell me why farm subsidies are a good idea?
PS. I am an economics major.
