Not told here is also where almost all the farm subsidies go. That is to farmers who contract out with major companies and not small independent farmers. These billion dollar companies should be paying the farmers more and not having the tax payers do it. When politicians are questioned about this practice of corporate welfare they say it has to be this way to keep commodity prices in line. The real reason is because when anti trust laws came about big agri business used this (and many other ways such as regulation) to drive out any competition.
