A farmdoc daily article reviews public opinion surveys on government payments to farmers, drawing on eleven waves of the Gardner Food and Agricultural Policy Survey. It places this within the context of the $10 billion economic assistance and the one-year Farm Bill extension.
The piece focuses on taxpayer, voter and consumer attitudes.
Public support for payments shapes the likelihood of future aid, which affects farm income and crop planting decisions. The article itself does not signal any near-term price move.
