Farms in Greene County received $330,071 in taxpayer-funded subsidies in 2021, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Of the 99 subsidies provided, the largest was for Heavenly Acres Farm, which received $64,475 for the claim of "Coronavirus Food Assistance Program - Continuation of the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act".

The smallest subsidy provided to a Greene County farmer was $3 to Dundee Farm, LLC.

There were 119 fewer subsidies than the year before, and the total value of the subsidies fell by $362,922.

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.
