Farm Subsidy Programs

Farm subsidy programs are government financial supports designed to assist farmers by reducing production costs or guaranteeing income. They can include direct payments, price supports, or crop insurance, aiming to promote agricultural stability, ensure food supply, and support rural economies. These programs help farmers weather market fluctuations, adverse weather, or low commodity prices, and sometimes encourage the production of specific crops or livestock. While intended to benefit agricultural sustainability, they can also influence market prices and trade dynamics. Overall, farm subsidies are policy tools to promote a stable and secure agricultural sector.
