How do food stamp programs stimulate big agriculture? It has little to do with the inventory in a grocery store; the acreage planted by a farmer; the price per pound paid for livestock or the amount of subsidy that a particular farmer or rancher gets for not planting a particular crop or for not grazing a particular amount of acreage.
