The EU has a €300B program directly subsidizing farmers [0]. To quote the wiki page:

     The [EAGF] consumes a large part of the general budget of the European Union. 
Apparently the overarching CAP program consumes something like 30+% of the budget, so I'd love to know what you consider "heavily subsidized" if this doesn't merit.
