127 West Liberty farmers received agricultural subsidies in 2021
Published 02/27/24
Of the 155 subsidies provided, the largest was for Johnny Cantrell Logging, LLC, which received $36,228 for the claim of Pandemic Assistance for Timber Harvesters and Haulers Program.
The smallest subsidy provided to a West Liberty farmer was $4 to Rebecca S. Bailey.
There were 240 less subsidies in 2021 than the year before, when there were 395.
The total value of the subsidies fell by $402,461 from the previous year.
Overall, 127 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.
