>Switching to more productive crops wouldn't end subsidies. In face, we'd - at first - need more I don't think anyone arguing that subsidies in general are bad

  My point is that we can't simply change subsidies from corn to other things without thinking about the other things that would need funding in order to do that. I personally don't think all of it is bad: It is a food and feed crop, after all, but I think we could do with more variety in such crops (not so much reliance on corn, and definitely not for ethanol)
