| Message | Fact: Subsidies to farmers allow them to artificially deflate prices, thus forcing competition from poorer undeveloped nations, unable to afford subsidy deflation, out of the marketplace, unable to compete against unfair pricing. Fact: Subsidies encourage poor quality goods and a lax attitude toward work, as they have a government welfare net waiting for them. Nationalisation is available to farmers who are hard done by by the weather. If the whole industry is in trouble, it too can be nationalised. |

| Message | Subsidising low incoem subsistance farming industries allows our agricultural sector not to be dominated by private greed. |
