Agricultural Risk Coverage Program - County, year by year

Every year USDA’s files record a payment under code 2838, the latest first: 11 years, from 2015. A year is titled by the description carrying most of its money, and a year whose file covers fewer than twelve months says so.

What USDA calls this program

Code 2838 appears under 2 descriptions in the published file. They are listed rather than merged: two spellings of one program are what USDA published, and in some codes the descriptions are genuinely different lines — organic cost share is published separately for crops, livestock and wild crops.

Where the money went

The states this program paid most in are on each state’s own page, which lists every program that state was paid under. The published file records a program against a payment and a payment against a county office, so a state’s programs are the honest cut of it.
