How are county subsidy totals calculated?
County totals are aggregated from individual payment records in USASpending.gov where a county is listed on the transaction. Totals include all USDA financial assistance award types — direct payments, conservation, commodity support, and disaster programs.
Does the per-capita figure reflect farm population only?
No. Per-capita figures divide total subsidy dollars by the county's total Census Bureau population, not just farm households. This provides a consistent basis for comparison across counties regardless of farm density.
