Published 02/27/24
Of the 160 subsidies provided, the largest was for Scheckel Farms, which received $116,339 for the claim of Coronavirus Food Assistance Program 3 - Targeted Assistance for Specific Commodities.
The smallest subsidy provided to a Richmond farmer was $2 to Doris A. Adkinson.
There were 137 less subsidies in 2021 than the year before, when there were 297.
The total value of the subsidies fell by $1.1 million from the previous year.
Overall, 67 farmers received financial aid in the city.
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.
