Àre the new tax breaks a subsidy to business.?

I chuckle whenever I read about subsidies to primary producers. Around here, they'd just get plowed into land, inflating the purchase prices and rent even further beyond what's reasonable. I know it sounds counter-intuitive to be against subsidies, but that's all it would really do. It's only good for the farmers who have stopped growing, or are retiring: they can pocket that money, and it increases their asset values. For the next generation, it's detrimental.

Then why does it work for businesses other than primary producers?

I think that's too general of a comment.

Some would pocket it, some would do as you suggest and some would be able to farm another year because of it.

Majority of businesses have the ability to recoup their costs.....farmers do not have that luxury. ...

How about moving the grain and oil we have now first

Solid points.
Investments in rail and pipelines would benefit our economy.

The USA is now discussing dredging the Mississippi River for a small $176 million price tag.
