This is a website that lists where all the money from farm subsidies go. It breaks down which commodities get the most money (corn and soy) and which farms get the most money (the wealthiest).
In light of the passing of new Farm Bill, this website is extremely important because it is a watchdog for farm policy and, for the first time ever, makes farm subsidy information available to the public.
We all know that big farms receive the majority of farm subsidies, but I think you will be surprised to find out just how skewed are our annual farm contributions.

thanks, Marisa. My son is a farmer in Delaware Country, NY and he doesn't get any subsidies.
He has a great farm. It's on route 30 between Grand Gorge and Roxbury.
