I'm not OP and I think you're right, but subsidies are not often direct cash injection. It can be bailing farmers out of debt, stripping taxes for slaughterhouse, or even workers compensation for incident on meat plants.
- joveian 6y agoBLM land access is one area that could be a large subsidy not counted as a direct subsidy. That can't really be shifted to fruits and vegetables (I don't think the land is suitable). There are grazing fees (though not everyone pays and they have trouble enforcing them), but it sound like they could be considerably lower than market rate. See "State and Private Grazing Rates" in: https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RS21232.pdf https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RS21232.pdf It is a huge political issue going back hundreds of years as ranching was arguably the largest driving factor behind the European colonization of the Americas.
