It would be interesting to know what the true cost of food would be without the Farm Bill. And how many less people could afford to eat out.
There are many programs from the govt that assist in building, parking lots, street infrastructure, small business loans and grants, TIF, govt subsidies for hiring disadvantaged help, and so forth that are available to the resturant owner.
The large amount of snap benefits allow folk to eat out once in a while, while not a direct resturant subsidy that big amount of money put in the ecconomy spills over into spending at restaurants.
Public transportation. Is heavily subsidized and allows folk to go restaurants for low cost.
All in all, if we take an honest look, the resturant fella probably has a bigger percent of subsidy towards him than a farmer does.

But if you a really are interested in your question, take a bit of a look at it, and you will be surprised at how every segment of the ecconomy is heavily subsidied.
The safety net offered to farms creates a stable food supply, with excess ecconomic spending on all the other things people buy, such as resturant visits. If we were like other countries and spend 20-30% of our income on food, instead of the 10% we do, many other businesses on main street would just fold up.

The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
