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

In 2019, USDA doubled the max payment farmers could receive from $125,000 to $250,000 per person, which directed more dollars to the largest farms and ignored small farms that were struggling. The top 1.3% of payment recipients received an additional $519 million. https://t.co/477aSkuhVq — PolitiTweet.org
