Major crops and products are highly subsidized in the US (corn, soybean, wheat, cotton, and rice)
Only major producers are generally receiving subsidies at all.

Ok. Yeah I'm aware of subsidies but not sure of the scale or who gets what and why nor the rules around it. Watched a documentary a while back that talked about all of this but sort of forgot the details.

This is from 2018, but it does address a number of issues that are usually ignored or obfuscated but pro ag articles/organizations.
The comment about the Reagan admin rolling back subsidies and the response rang home because I remember angry farmers in the town I lived in at the time.
