You might like to know more about Australia's experience with unsubsidizing farmers.

Or, heck, you might not like it. But I think you should know more about it anyway.

Why, what experience is it?

From memory:

Food production (amount of food) rises, while falling as a share of GDP. Agricultural productivity (food output production per unit input) shoots up. A lot of land is repurposed from sheep to other products.

And of course, subsidy spending goes way down.
