Farm bankruptcies are up despite government subsidies. People in the cities depend on cheap food, which translates to low farm prices and marginal profits, which often put the farmer in a financial bind. The tariffs aren't helping either. If you want cheap food you must make up for those low prices by subsidizing the farmer. Without subsidies food production would collapse.
