一个农业补贴是由政府支付给农民的财政援助的形式。援助的目的可以是补充他们的收入或影响成本，农产品供给。美国政府支付农民每年超过$ 200亿的农业补贴。拥护者认为，补贴是必要的，因为农业净收入有2014年和2015年之间的对手用32％的跌幅认为，农民应该自生自灭，并指出2,300农民谁不种庄稼每年获得补贴。

Only the small farmers not the big business farms who are making huge profits.

The Federal Goverment should help farmers and organic famers. Monsanto is a monster that needs to be reined in. Monsanto should not be allowed to do the things they do and sale the food they do. How is it possible this has been passed by the FDA. FDA should be ashamed to pass this junk off as food to our kids and population. Thank GOD BBC doesn't hold back on what is going on with them.
@KCQS7D5yrs5Y
Most farm subsidies go to giant corporations like Monsanto. We need to end corporate farm subsidies and offer them to small independent farmers. And stop subsiding corn farmers and anyone who helps produce high fructose corn syrup/
@M2BDQK5yrs5Y
Yes, but only to small and organic farmers. Not to corn and factory farms.
@2HWMWTZ5yrs5Y
Let the government keep their hands out of the farmer's pockets. If a farmer is starting out then the opportunity to receive a loan should be offered. The loan should be set at a 1% interest rate for the duration of 15 years. Such a time would allow the farmer to make profit through the free market while at the same time bringing in a trickle of income for the government without being too much of a burden to said farmer.

There should be no subsidies for the crops that are adding to our obesity problems such as wheat and corn. If something must be subsidized it should be vegetables and other healthy crops so healthy foods will be cheaper. We don't need subsidies for crops that are going primarily for potato chips, sodas, cereals, bread etc.
@M994H25yrs5Y
Subsidize small,organic and American farmers not corporations and foreign owned
@MZRKP95yrs5Y
Yes, but not as much and not for corporate farms except in a narrow set of circumstances and we should move towards paying the actual cost of food produced.
@LW48SP5yrs5Y
Yes, include organic farmers, but cut factory farm subsidies.
@N9C62S5yrs5Y
Yes to the extent that US Farmer remain competitive in the global market but the subsidies programs should be reassessed and modified not to promote over production of corn and soy and also to include more programs for medium/small scale agriculture that is not single-crop driven.
