18 ZIP Code 94587 farmers received agricultural subsidies in 2021
Among the 18 subsidies provided, the largest amount was awarded to Amandeep Singh, which received $112,568 for the claim of Tree Assistance Program.
The smallest subsidy provided to a ZIP Code 94587 farmer was $73 to Scott D. Schroeder.
There were 17 fewer subsidies in 2021 than the year before, when there were 35.
The total value of the subsidies rose by $1,865 from the previous year.
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.
