Key Points

- 2Farmers can sign up for these programs on their farms, and the government makes direct payments when certain conditions are met, helping stabilize farm income
- 3The programs apply to major crops like corn, wheat, and soybeans, plus dairy operations across the country
- 4Payments come from the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the Commodity Credit Corporation, funded by taxpayers
- 5These programs aim to help keep family farms financially stable and maintain agricultural production across rural America
