Crop prices erode farm subsidy program High corn and soybean prices mean farmers are making the most money in their lives. At the same time, grain prices are far too high to trigger payouts under the U.S. primary farm-subsidy program's "price support" formula. The market has done what Congress couldn't do and that is "slash farm subsidies."
Draw a graph to illustrate the soybean market when the soybean price was low. Show the quantity of soybeans produced, the subsidy farmers received, and the deadweight loss created.
