House Agriculture Committee Unveils New Farm Bill

[Frodo]

Democrats apparently aren't happy with this:

Farm bill text released in U.S. House, setting up fight with Senate

One of my family members -a cousin- has a farm in the San Juan Islands (albeit a relatively small farm), so I have a personal connection.

E-I-E-I-O

My dad is a farmer so I’m sure I’ll be hearing a lot about this whether I want to or not (I do)

If anyone ever wanted to stop farm subsidies they could just start calling it “Farmers Socialism” and most small, rural farmers would give it up and have their farms collapse over accepting they need the government to survive.

This isn’t who gets farm subsidies.

Nah, farmers in Europe have already connected proposals to cut farm subsidies to alt right conspiracies.
Rural resentment was a thing in 1896 and it still is.

I think the US should focus to subsidize fruits and "fresh veggies" (nor cereals nor tubers).
Or maybe subiside them but for export. I want to eat some corn from Iowa.

or who pushed for them in the first place or who wants to keep them around today, but it sure does make protectionism more palatable to the voter if they can tell themselves it helps the small family farm.  They don't actually care if it does or not.
