With groceries, it's not only the farm subsidies. That fuel price McBrew mentioned of $16/gal. would be passed along ON TOP of that. When you get a chance, look up some of the charts that show how many gallons of oil and how many gallons of water it takes to produce any given unit of any food product. I estimate that your average $200 day at the supermarket would easily cost you $2K or more.
So what your saying is, without farm subsidies, it would actually be profitable to operate a small local farm?
