An article from February showed how government support is helping U.S. farm income.
USDA projected a sharp rise in farm income for 2025, estimating it at $180.1 billion, up 29.5% from 2024.
However, this increase is largely due to government disaster aid rather than market-driven growth.
The American Relief Act of 2025 has allocated $31 billion in direct payments to support farmers and ranchers affected by recent economic and natural disasters.
