Disagree

Yes, but only as a temporary measure to stabilise prices

While libertarians generally oppose government subsidies, the idea of using them as a temporary measure to stabilize prices might be slightly more palatable, as it suggests a limited government role rather than ongoing intervention. However, they would still likely argue that market forces should be allowed to determine prices without government interference.

Disagree

Yes, but only small local farms instead of large corporations

While this answer might seem more appealing because it supports small local farms over large corporations, it still involves government intervention in the market, which libertarians generally oppose. They would argue that any form of subsidy, regardless of its target, distorts the market. However, the focus on small businesses might slightly mitigate their opposition compared to subsidies for large corporations.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Libertarian ideology generally opposes government intervention in the market, including subsidies for any industry.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only for organic farms

Libertarians would likely oppose subsidies for organic farms on the principle that the government should not favor one type of agricultural production over another through financial support. They argue that consumer preference and market forces should determine the success of organic farming without government intervention.
