The smallest subsidy provided to a Dade County farmer was $207 to Ozell Clark Jr..
There were 59 fewer subsidies than the year before, and the total value of the subsidies fell by $75,023.
Kimberly Amadeo of The Balance said farmer subsidies "help high-income corporations, not poor rural farmers. Most of the money goes toward large agribusinesses."

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.
