Farms in Caswell County received $359,709 in taxpayer-funded subsidies in 2021, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Of the 92 subsidies provided, the largest was for Baldwin Family Farm Lands, LLC, which received $74,745 for the claim of "Coronavirus Food Assistance Program - Continuation of the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act".

The smallest subsidy provided to a Caswell County farmer was $8 to Jamey Walker.

There were 89 fewer subsidies than the year before, and the total value of the subsidies rose by $7,486.

Kimberly Amadeo of The Balance said farmer subsidies "help high-income corporations, not poor rural farmers. Most of the money goes toward large agribusinesses."

USDA data analyzed by the Cato Institute found that "farmers (on net) have derived almost 40% of their income directly from the U.S. government” in recent years.

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.
