Worked as in controlled prices yes, but it did not work for the economy. Rationing controlled demand but as costs to produce went up skimflation was used. Meat manufacturers started filling sausages with crackers and potatoes. Meat producers stopped producing after Congress reinstated price controls after ww2. The biggest problem is that ending price control saw inflation skyrocket in order to catch back up. Farm bills were used to curb this.
Depends on the crop and the farm. Subsidies for domestically grown/sold food? Yes, I’m all for subsidies.
Subsidies for things like alfalfa that is mostly shipped out and sold over seas? Fuck that. Why are we subsidizing China’s economy? We are essentially paying for them to steal our water supply.

Farmers have been vilified by the left so they are out to get them. They don’t take time consider what would happen if farm bills were removed.
