for instance the bare land type that are fairly ridiculous. There's other kinds, like fuel rebates and such that theoretically give farmers a break, but I'm not convinced they keep food prices down in the long run. They do enable farms to stay as family operations, which is a net good in my opinion, as I distrust the idea and question the workability of factory farms.
