Answer:

Help farmers by increasing total revenue in the market but hurt consumers by raising food prices

These government programs restrict farmers from wanting to innovate, cut costs, diversify their use of the land, and perform other necessary actions that bring them economic prosperity. This affects customers by raising food prices.
