This is something that's really hard for me. I'm against corn subsidies because I'm tired of everything having corn/corn syrup because it's so cheap. I think the subsidies should be based on something else that promotes variety, and also favors sustainable farming instead of monocropping with petroleum based fertilizer. I know it needs subsidized, because people are price sensitive, but it needs to be done differently.
Yeah this is one of those things I've just accepted will require someone really skilled in drafting political policy to fix, but with the ongoing trend of people leaving the farming trade such a farm subsidy reform is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve
