Published 02/27/24
Of the 171 subsidies provided, the largest was for Mike Oppedyk, which received $87,429 for the claim of Dairy Margin Coverage Program.
The smallest subsidy provided to a Nyssa farmer was $3 to Nicholas J Gomeza.
There were 118 less subsidies in 2021 than the year before, when there were 289.
The total value of the subsidies fell by $8.3 million from the previous year.
Overall, 85 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.
