Democrats. The reason being is that the democratic party supports farm subsidies worth millions of dollars. The farmers (naturally) vote for the Democrats because they want to keep the subsidies. The farmers stay rich because of these subsidies that they get each year. Farming subsidies started in the 1930's Great Depression era by FDR. They were supposed to keep the farmers from starving to death in a time when there was little commercially available food. Nowadays, farmers just milk the system.
