Farming subsidies are there to keep food prices stable and uniform. They subsidize grain because grain forms the basis of our food economy. If grain prices receive a shock because of a regional drought then everything else will go up as well. We might have food shortages, our flocks and herds will suffer. Farmers will go out of business through no fault of their own. Those subsidies are there for a damn good reason.
