    That’s a huge lie, my dear. The average farmer got very little from those subsidies, most of it went to large corporate farms.

    You are correct.

    "According to the Environmental Working Group’s analysis, 82 farms have each gleaned more than half a million dollars in trade relief payments. Because the rate is based on output, the biggest farms get the most subsidies. DeLine Farms Partnership has hauled in $2.8 million so far, while an average of less than $5,000 went to each of the bottom four-fifths of recipients."

    So of all of the farmers in America, 80% got less than $5000 in bailouts.

    That's some cheap votes if that's the going price.

    It's probably staged, like so much of the fake news these days.

    actually that isn't true........the assistance was based on acres planted, not the size of the corporation..........if you had twenty acres you got the same amount per acre as someone with 2000 acres.....
