Payments

One row of USDA’s file is one disbursement, not one year and not one program.

13

Programs

Named in the file itself, so this is what the money was for as USDA records it.

2

County offices

The offices that administered the payments, which is not where any land is.

The mailing address USDA holds for payment is 2520 W Spruce St, Mitchell, SD 57301-6225. It is where a cheque goes, not where a farm is: a payee can be addressed to an accountant in another state.

What the payments were for

By year

The calendar year USDA disbursed the money, which is frequently not the year of the program it was paid under. The site holds the years listed here and no others.
