Direct payments may have stopped but we spend billions paying subsidies for crop inurance. To the tune of about 9 billion. No means testing, no drug tests, no nothing, everyone gets it that files. The biggest corporate farms of course get the lions share. Corporate welfare for farmers didn't end with the latest far bill. We just call it something different. The drop insurance coverage now pays when a commodity falls below a reference proce.
I'm not bashing farmers, I just don't think Archer Daniels Midland deserves a penny of my money.
