Of the 128 subsidies provided, the largest was for Joseph W. Johnson Jr., which received $118,191 for the claim of "Coronavirus Food Assistance Program Cares 2.1".
The smallest subsidy provided to a Monroe County farmer was $11 to Horace W. Pippin.
There were 138 fewer subsidies than the year before, and the total value of the subsidies fell by $318,783.
Kimberly Amadeo of The Balance said farmer subsidies "help high-income corporations, not poor rural farmers. Most of the money goes toward large agribusinesses."
USDA data analyzed by the Cato Institute found that "farmers (on net) have derived almost 40% of their income directly from the U.S. government” in recent years.
The U.S. has provided farm subsidies since the Great Depression to assist farmers who weather price fluctuations and disasters to help maintain consistent farming across the country.
