Are Farm Subsidies socialism?

Depends what the subsidy is for but farmers are important to your country so protective measures in the form of subsidies are important , American farmers seem to be the victims of political stupidity so no it's nothing like welfare.

Yes. All subsidies are a form of socialism.
So subsidies help keep those small farmers afloat is some cases

Average kid.
Vitamin enriched grains in milk soup for breakfast.
Sandwich lightly laced with a little protein and green water leaf with a side of chips.
Decent dinner.
Rinse and repeat = health.
Cut the subsidies if you want but dont bitch about $8 gallons of milk. $16 pounds of cheese.
