Farms in Wayne County received $1,499,970 in taxpayer-funded subsidies in 2021, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Of the 223 subsidies provided, the largest was for Billy R. Miller, which received $103,556 for the claim of "Coronavirus Food Assistance Program Cares 2.1".

The smallest subsidy provided to a Wayne County farmer was $7 to Amber McLain.

There were 337 fewer subsidies than the year before, and the total value of the subsidies rose by $457,002.

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.
