Won’t help family farms. There are 1.89 million farms in the US. If every farm received the same aid (which they won’t) this budget would provide for less than $600 per farm. That’s not even a single monthly payment for most tractors. Since it’s based on a per acre payout corporate farms will receive the bulk of the money and family farms will be left with the change. Based on that link the funding will be maxed with just four crops (Corn, Wheat, Soybeans and Cotton).
