It's about a 10:1 ratio in favor of livestock, last time I checked the EU CAP.


Does that consider corn subsidies a beef subsidy? America would be subsidizing corn production whether or not beef existed. The corn belt is VERY politically powerful, and america values having a basic food industry that is impossible to blockade in wartime.

If beef producers stop needing that corn, we will just find more corn syrup and ethanol in random places.
