Yes, but only small local farms instead of large corporations

While the Nationals support subsidies for all farmers, they have a particular focus on supporting small and medium-sized farms, which are often the backbone of rural communities. However, they do not necessarily oppose subsidies for larger corporations, hence the score is not a full 5.
