Personally I'm in favour of slashing them for big agri-business type farms (like in California) while increasing them (often by a lot) to smaller farms out in the MidWest
The farms in the mid-west are big argi-business too.
Not in the same way and you know it.
Slave agriculture in California is disgusting.
There are also at least some small farms in the Midwest. My aunt and uncle farmed one in Illinois for decades until they retired to the northern coast of California a few years ago.
Realistically, though, small farms are not economically viable in the modern world, and we shouldn't keep clinging to old farming techniques and small farms merely for the sake of preserving past traditions. Large, consolidated farms like those of the Midwest and Plains are the plan for the future, and they don't need subsidies.
