"Inheritance taxes are a major hurtle for family farmers that corporate farmers don't have."

That has ZERO to do with taxpayer subsidies for crop production.

And, on the estate tax front, there are several ways around the inter-generational tax --- family trusts are one, incorporation as you pointed out is another.

The estate tax may go by the boards in this administration, anyway.

In an era of 'global free trade', little or no progress may be expected for lowering foreign trade barriers on all of our OTHER products until & unless we bite the bullet on commodity crop subsidies.
