Who benefits from farm subsidies? In general, "the people". Prices are not high enough for a farmer to stay in business. So we "pay" the farmer more than the crop is worth. We benefit from the low price. If supply and demand we allowed to act, the price would go higher.

On your second point, how many Billionaire farmers are they? Even corporate farmers?
