Farmers always get odd perks from both parties, but there are other issues at work here.
Where food production comes into play, do you want a monopoly in charge? Maybe this guy can make money selling for half price, but he does so because he controlls every aspect of production. Thats great bussines but the end result of such practices is they can end up with one 'winner' in control. A DeBeers of milk if you will.
In the long run it will work out, as if he were to start getting unreasonable once he was in control of it all, others could move in again, as unlike diamonds, you can't just buy up all the claims, but in the mean time you will have a lot of farmers SOL.
Its not much different than the Walmart complaints, just that in this case there are protectionist laws to play with due to the political nature of agriculture.
