Drought relief payouts fuel debate in 1988 program
The drought aid, one time and widely available, benefited thousands across states including California, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Maryland, and New Jersey. Some farmers exceeded income limits yet were approved, with officials later tightening rules in 1989. Reporters note triple dipping by some growers who collected insurance and drought aid, then replanted for a successful harvest.

Drought Aid Flaws Show Misused Benefits and Wide Reach

AP investigators reviewed state data, county records, and farm reports across 21 states, visiting offices to study 346 farmer cases under FOIA as part of a broader audit.
