Lab-grown meat may never be cost-competitive enough to displace traditional meat

Sorry I don't really understand what your saying. I simply found some interesting links that I thought people would find useful. The first two links are trying to show that the farmers are getting really cheap land (AKA government giving subsidies to them) as the current price is the minimum set in 1981.

The third link is just a counter argument to that says although the land looks cheap in reality its more expensive because of land maintenance.

However, I don't trust that article a lot as it was written by a rancher that is in a pro ranching organization so there is a big bias.

I guess my confusion was - the original post was about farm subsidies for the beef industry. I do not believe BLM price reductions count toward that, as a vast, vast minority of beef ever interacts with those properties.

While they are a subsidy, I do not believe they are relevant at all to the argument. That's my point, I guess.

Corn, bean, and other row crop subsidies, sure. But BLM is just a distraction, I think.
