Farms in Nome County received $190,900 in taxpayer-funded subsidies in 2021, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Of the 72 subsidies provided, the largest was for Charlie L. Brown, which received $13,325 for the claim of "Seafood Trade Relief Program".

The smallest subsidy provided to a Nome County farmer was $53 to Jason M Takak.

There were 23 more subsidies than the year before, and the total value of the subsidies rose by $41,427.

Kimberly Amadeo of The Balance said farmer subsidies "help high-income corporations, not poor rural farmers. Most of the money goes toward large agribusinesses."

USDA data analyzed by the Cato Institute found that "farmers (on net) have derived almost 40% of their income directly from the U.S. government” in recent years.

The U.S. has provided farm subsidies since the Great Depression to assist farmers who weather price fluctuations and disasters to help maintain consistent farming across the country.
