The idea of subsidizing business is in at least one sense the means by which production is properly planned and distributed. This was important once as a way to prevent gluts of tomatoes, and shortages of grain, for example. The early programs to subsidize agriculture were intended to keep people from starving. Subsidies aren't always black or white. In the case of ag, it would be nice if the producers would level production themselves, but they wont, because they honestly can't. Subsidies are a less heavy handed way to overcome this, the alternative is absolute control and planning of food production by the Fed. (That is until such time as local mixed crop producers can compete with multinational mono crop producers....a situation we're not likely to ever see realized.)
