The smallest subsidy provided to an Elk Grove farmer was $12 to Houston A. Yarbrough.
There were 94 less subsidies in 2021 than the year before, when there were 195.
The total value of the subsidies fell by $2.9 million from the previous year.
Overall, 55 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.
