GOP bill would keep large farm subsidies under overhaul
Environmental Working Group says a Republican plan to cap subsidies at 36 billion over seven years still mostly benefits big farms and absentee landlords. The study notes top 2 percent could collect 22 percent of money, with 28,000 recipients getting 7.8 billion. It flags that many recipients do not currently farm, and some live far from their farm locations. The group urges redirecting funds to environmental cleanup and rural job creation while preserving a safety net for small farms.
