C IL | Farming was the original special interest. Most government policy here was farm policy starting at least by the 1770’s. 90% of the population farmed and every one else that had a mercantile interest had a strong interest in their customer and part time labor force, the farmer.
As food security is a national security issue and, as Marie Antoinette found out (let them eat cake), political stability issue, many many countries interfere in the free market to have some domestic agriculture interests of one sort or another.
