There is a Green argument for subsidising small scale farmers to avoid depopulation, as long as the level of subsidy is tied into stewardship of the land, rivers, air and wildlife.
No excuse for subsidising US style feedlots.I guess those with the assets and capital can influence law makers.
See the Koch brothers for more details.
