Of the 210 subsidies provided, the largest was for Twin Lake Greenhouse, LLC, which received $199,140 for the claim of "Coronavirus Food Assistance Program - Continuation of the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act".
The smallest subsidy provided to a Muskegon County farmer was $5 to Jon M. Thompson.
There were 168 fewer subsidies than the year before, and the total value of the subsidies fell by $1,620,834.
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.
