Strangely, here in the UK, corn fed meat (i.e. with antibiotics) is a premium product over grass fed one. So, the problem is a bit deeper than that.

There are other problems that are solved by antibiotics: overcrowding and mass production. Nothing to do either with crop subsidies.

And similarly that's not an easy problem to solve. Very few organizations defend quality meat. Small, local farmer are easy target for various animal rights group. Big groups on the other hand are generally ignored.

They can only overcrowed because of corn feeding. Grass fed cows can't really be mass produced and factory farmed.
