NO.
If there were no farm programs, the large farms and corporations would have full control within a decade.
For instance, the 2012 drought in Nebraska would have put the hurt on even the good operators with good balance sheets.
Do you realize that nearly every country in the world have ag programs. For example, china artificially supports there corn price to $9.00 to encourage production.
It would be more difficult for young producers to start, if not impossible.
This whole thread shows the short sightedness and stupidity of the general population, and unfortunately this time includes farmers, one of the few groups I still had hope in! stupidity? I see. You a government lover? Maybe one that thinks the government does everything wrong but in ag does everything right? How's your health insurance working for you?
