USDA Farm Services Administration email: if you die, your heirs may still get your farm subsidies (Digital Chicago Tribune) 

March 30, 2020


Digital Chicago Tribune reported on more subsidies coming the way of farmers in the new federal relief bill. As much as $23.5 billion in assistance for farmers is in the bill. According to Senior Research Fellow Joseph Glauber, farmers in Midwestern states as well as in Texas and Kansas reaped much of the $26 billion spent in the past two years to blunt the economic effect of the administration’s trade policies. Without those payments, net farm income last year would have dropped about 5 percent, he estimated. Instead, it rose by nearly 12 percent. Republished in Bluestem PrairiePulseLive (Kenya)
