Government subsidies are not the same thing as collectivization. Collectivization implies collective ownership, under Capitalism what you have instead is usually consolidation, where large farms buy up smaller competitors and become less efficient over time. America's approach to agricultural policy is how you get perverse incentives like speculators buying up land in order to collect government money to not grow anything.
