> Milk and cheese would be a good candidate for a basic income sort of scheme. Where everyone would be issued milk and cheese vouchers every month that could be exchanged for milk and cheese at the local package milk store. People who didn't want their coupons could give them to people who did. That would create a 'base layer' of milk production and consumption that would keep dairies around but take milk and cheese out of the cost of living equation. I'm sure there are other reasons why this is impractical but the whole problem is fairly intractable as it is without putting farms out of business.
Been there, done that? Government Cheese!
