Farms in Bay County received $1,410,661 in taxpayer-funded subsidies in 2021, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Of the 215 subsidies provided, the largest was for Ten Kids Ranch, LLC, which received $210,278 for the claim of "Emergency Conservation Program/Hazard Mitigation Program - Cost Share FY19 Program".

The smallest subsidy provided to a Bay County farmer was $7 to Brian Kelly Locklear.

There were 79 fewer subsidies than the year before, and the total value of the subsidies rose by $677,933.

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.
