Whenever I hear a farmer say they don't support any wellfare ... I laugh to myself... cause:

Subsidies aid the wealthy. Farm subsidies disproportionately benefit high‐​income households. In 2021, the average income of all farm households was $135,281, which was 32 percent higher than the $102,316 average of all U.S. households.14 The median income of farm households was $92,239, which was 30 percent higher than the $70,784 median of all U.S. households. Only 2 percent of farm households have net wealth below the U.S. median household net wealth.

Maybe they look at subsidies not as welfare. I agree with you that subsidies, in the way they are applied in general, aid the wealthy. If subsidies would be applied "proactive" they could protect people become dependent from welfare.
