Isn't milk one of the more heavily subsidized products?   BTW are we still 
protecting the production of wool?  FYI for those who don;t know, Wool since 
it was heavily used in making military uniforms was listed as being critical 
to the War Effort in the 40s - so it's production was protected.  Still is 
AFAIK, nearly 50 years later, even though many synthetic materials do a much 
better job at making warm weather clothing.  ;-/
