Government Bailout for Organic Farmers

That's what Tom Philpott suggests for British organic farmers here (who have been hurt by the economic downturn and want a temporary switch to conventional feed):

For me, the situation calls for strategic government intervention. Rather than a "holiday" on organic standards to weather the storm, why not temporary payments to organic farmers to cover losses while the slump continues? And in the long term, the government could bring down organic feed costs by creating incentives for organic grain production -- and disincentives for environmentally destructive conventional grain farming.
