Perverse agricultural subsidies

When you go to the store with your parents and buy some fruits and vegetables, there are farmers who grow those things to sell in the store. Sometimes, the government gives those farmers extra money to help them grow more and keep their business going.

But sometimes, the government gives money to farmers in a way that doesn't really make sense. For example, they might give money to farmers who grow too much of one thing, like corn or wheat. This can make it harder for other farmers who grow different things to sell their products.

It's like if your parents gave you a bunch of candy every day, but didn't give any to your siblings or friends. They might get upset and feel like it's not fair, just like other farmers who don't get the same subsidies might feel like it's not fair.

So instead of just giving money to farmers for no good reason, the government should think more about how to help all farmers, not just a few of them.
