Why Farm Subsidy Recipient Data Matters

Farm subsidy payments are funded by U.S. taxpayers, and recipient-level transparency is essential for accountability. Journalists, researchers, and policymakers use recipient data to investigate payment concentration, identify potential fraud, and evaluate whether subsidies reach the farmers who need them most. This tool makes that data accessible to everyone.
