Oh yep I saw this Q&A a couple weeks ago, it's great!
It's a perfect showcase of how the US farm sector has lost its grip on reality.
He really said "You have to subsidize us because that's how you create a free market." With a straight face & everything.

Farm bills are going to continue to be a thing. Ag subsidies are going to happen due to climate change.

This covers it well. Farming has super thin margins long term and you need subsidies if you don't want all of your food grown by 5 megacorps.

He didn't say that.

There it is timestamped. In fact, he never says the words 'free market' at all while talking about subsidies, so I think you might need to go back and watch it again.
