Book Description
Farmers receive $16 billion annually in federal farm program payments. These payments go to 2 million recipients, both individuals and entities. It has been reported that the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) did not ensure that these payments went only to those who meet eligibility requirements.
