- subsidies started during the Great Depression and helped farmers overcome not being able to pay for their crops
- farmers mostly have a good income and don't always need the money from the gov't; they make more than the average US taxpayer]]> 2018-03-22 13:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/winklercj/8jm0sug7bwoh/wish/244979087 https://padlet.com/winklercj/8jm0sug7bwoh/wish/244979604 Many developing nations opposed agricultural subsidies in the US ]]> 2018-03-22 13:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/winklercj/8jm0sug7bwoh/wish/244979604 https://padlet.com/winklercj/8jm0sug7bwoh/wish/244979661 1.

- While the farmer claims to benefit from farm subsidies, economists attribute the benefits to land owners.
- It appears that landlords do receive some of the subsidy benefits through higher rental rates, but they receive far less than economists would have expected. ]]> 2018-03-22 13:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/winklercj/8jm0sug7bwoh/wish/244980197 https://padlet.com/winklercj/8jm0sug7bwoh/wish/244980572 2018-03-22 13:32:56 UTC https://padlet.com/winklercj/8jm0sug7bwoh/wish/244980572 mria https://padlet.com/winklercj/8jm0sug7bwoh/wish/244980590 1. Global subsides causes producers to overuse the fertilizer and pesticide causing the soil to be warm and plants can't be plants on that soil in the future
2.  Farmers that receives subsides are more likely to be able to produce more food and can have a more stable suppy of food with help from the money given to them.

- The corporations are bad for Indian farmers because they have to buy new seeds every season at a higher price since the new GMO seeds are non-renewable.
- To prevent a suicide economy, Navdanya has started a Seeds of Hope campaign, which is a shift from non-renewable GMO seeds, chemical farming, and unfair trade.]]> 2018-03-22 22:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/winklercj/8jm0sug7bwoh/wish/245265520 https://padlet.com/winklercj/8jm0sug7bwoh/wish/245283911 -Suicide rates for Indian farmers are increasing because of increasing debt.
