The smallest subsidy provided to a Trinity County farmer was $37 to Karel Perras.
There were six fewer subsidies than the year before, and the total value of the subsidies fell by $37,823.
Kimberly Amadeo of The Balance said farmer subsidies "help high-income corporations, not poor rural farmers. Most of the money goes toward large agribusinesses."

The U.S. has provided farm subsidies since the Great Depression to assist farmers who weather price fluctuations and disasters to help maintain consistent farming across the country.
