  Nonononono.
  
  Why should the government be subsidising suppliers? We already pay billions to the EU to support farmers. If farmers can't make a living without being subsidised, they should find another job. Rather than taxing people and subsidising failing businesses, why not let people keep more of their money so they can spend it on successful businesses, thus promoting competition and new ideas?

  Quite obviosly you understand nothing about how big business operates or the demands placed on farmers and suppliers in general when competing in a market where the customer demands reduced costs.
  
  The EU common agricultural policy should be reformed. This was introduced to secure food sources during the Cold War.
  
  Now however it creates an unfair playing field regarding the EU's relationship with farmers around the world and I believe benefits French farming mostly.
  
  It is a huge strain on the EU budget and yet another reason for the UK to withdraw from the EU and use our money to subsidise or to use a better word, support, our farming and industry in general."
