📊 Why 2024 Data Matters
2024 data shows farm subsidies climbing back toward elevated levels after a brief post-COVID decline. Emergency Relief Program (ERP) payments for ongoing drought and extreme weather, combined with traditional commodity support, pushed spending above $16.99B. With the 2018 Farm Bill still operating on extension and no new legislation in sight, spending patterns in 2024 reflect political inertia as much as agricultural need.
