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.
