CNHI News reports that US farmers received nearly $30 billion from crop insurance, commodity protection and disaster relief in the previous year, including $12 billion in bridge payments. Congress is considering another $10 billion, and experts project subsidies could exceed $50 billion next year.
Rising subsidies keep farms operating and can sustain feed demand, but they are a policy backdrop rather than a supply or price trigger.
