USDA's Farm Service Agency is delivering about $594 million in safety net and conservation payments to Ohio producers. Nationally, USDA announced $13.8 billion in ARC and PLC payments for the 2025 crop year and $1.8 billion in CRP payments for 2026.
Government payments support farm cash flow and may slow acreage cuts, but they are a routine regional disbursement with little direct effect on feed prices.
