According to GAO, the USDA set payment rates for certain crops like cotton that far exceeded payment rates for other major commodities. Less than 10% of payments went to farms that produced specialty crops, dairy, or hogs. Most specialty crop producers didn’t receive assistance. https://t.co/cQ47xmC2fo — PolitiTweet.org
