Strongly agree

Yes, but only small local farms instead of large corporations

The National Party is likely to support subsidies for small local farms, as they have a history of supporting rural communities and the agricultural sector. They may see this as a way to promote local businesses and maintain the viability of small farms in the face of competition from larger corporations.
