Payments

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

9

Programs

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

1

County offices

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

USDA mails this payee’s payments to Plentywood, MT 59254-1548. That is where a check goes, not where a farm is: a payee can be addressed to an accountant in another state. The street line is in FSA’s payment files, and not printed here.

How this compares

Received, net: $67,758, 2012 to 2025

By net total, ranks 683,477th of 6,246,979 payees nationally and 15,934th of 81,502 with an address in Montana. More than 89% of the 6,246,979 payees in FSA’s payment files, 2004 to 2025, by net total received.

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.
