Taxpayer-funded subsidies offered to Tuscumbia farmers in 2021 reached $724,891
Published 02/27/24
Of the 139 subsidies provided, the largest was for Countsland Farms, which received $49,586 for the claim of Price Loss Coverage Program.
The smallest subsidy provided to a Tuscumbia farmer was $2 to Walter Frank Brown.
There were 145 less subsidies in 2021 than the year before, when there were 284.
The total value of the subsidies fell by $1 million from the previous year.
Overall, 107 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.
