“Almost 40% of projected farm profit this year will come from trade aid, disaster assistance, federal subsidies and insurance payments, according to the report, based on Department of Agriculture forecasts. That’s $33 billion of a projected $88 billion in income.” https://t.co/xziDPhxoHl
Billionaire West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice’s farming company took in $121,398 in soybeans subsidies and $3,602 for corn — despite the fact that the median payments for the federal program designed to aid farmers are $6,438 and $152, respectively.https://t.co/Ab6htatHld
