Oddly enough the way to help is to removing the subsidies. Exploiting famers, using them as a middleman to the American taxpayer, is extremely lucrative.

Some subsidies are useful. Some aren't. The trick is to stop the ones that aren't helping without collapsing our food supply.
Of course, I'm sure a temporary one might be useful once a decade or century.
My point is this exactly mirrors the situation in health insurance, university degree prices, and many other industries we permanent subsidize. Companies create machines to use people to access the nearly unlimited pool of money available.
