Not surprised at all. Ending subsidies is hard. Not only do voters see an increased sticker price (a very visible effect, even if you compensate with tax cuts and increased welfare), but rural voters are likely to punish lawmakers for the change. With rural votes being worth almost twice as much as urban votes, it's easy math for representatives to do.

The idea of subsidizing healthy produce has some merit, but farm subsidies do certainly lower prices for rich and poor alike. I realize that poor people eat more corn-derived processed food, but the price of that food is low no matter what income your household has. There's no reason rich people need a discount on bread and tortillas.
