Food stamp program proves rural development aid
The $2 billion annual food stamp program boosts local economies in rural counties by multiplying federal funds into extra business. In Tennessee, Iowa, and New Mexico, each $1 spent yielded $1.20 to $1.68 in new wealth, with jobs added and significant shares of retail sales captured by stamps. National participation neared 11.5 million in March, with bonus stamps totaling about $4 million. Meanwhile Canada and Mexico reduce imports as they rebuild herds, cutting feeder cattle shipments to the United States and prompting Mexico to reimpose heifer export embargo.
