U.S. subsidies issued


 

The United States Department of Agriculture is releasing $13.2 billion in crop subsidies for 2025 just days before the federal elections.


The payments will vary by state and county.


This is a record high farm subsidy under two federal crop programs, yet is less than th $13.9 billion estimated earlier.


Rice subsidies are the highest and are estimated at $120 per base acre for medium-grain and $344 for long-grain. Rice estimates could still shift because final prices for the three rice types have not been set.
