What defines a small family farm in feed grain aid
The article questions the definition of a small family farm amid a $782 million feed grain program. It highlights unlikely beneficiaries including the Louisiana State Penitentiary, Municipal airports in Iowa and Nebraska, a Texas motel, Ford Motor Co, Reynolds Metals, a Florida prison farm, and Billie Sol Estes. It notes eight farmers received over $50,000, while many other large operators captured substantial payments, challenging the idea that the program favored small farms.
