I don't think "staying afloat" is the problem. Corporate farmers get plenty of subsidies, supposedly to insure our food supply. The problem is the bulk of the subsidies go to big time corporate farms and not to your local produce farmer. If the 5**** should hit the fan, we'll still have ethanol for fuel and grain to feed cattle, but local fruit and vegetable farmers will be SOL.
