Changing Farm Structure and the Distribution of Farm Paymentsand Federal Crop Insurance
T. Kirk White and Robert Hoppe ( February, 2012 )
Summary
The distribution of commodity-related payments and Federal crop insurance indemnities to U.S. farmers has shifted to larger farms as more and more U.S. agricultural production is done on those farms. Since the operators of larger farms tend to have higher household incomes than other farm operators, commodity-related program payments and Federal crop insurance indemnities also have shifted to higher income households.
