Of the 19 subsidies provided, the largest was for Woodchuck Logging, LLC, which received $50,875 for the claim of "Pandemic Assistance for Timber Harvesters and Haulers Program".
The smallest subsidy provided to a Logan County farmer was $11 to Scott Pritchard.
There were eight fewer subsidies than the year before, and the total value of the subsidies rose by $48,289.
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.
