Over the next few months, the government will disperse a 19 billion bailout for farmers hurt by the coronavirus pandemic. To get an idea of where that money may be going, we looked at an earlier 28 billion farm program meant to offset damages from President Trumps trade war with china. Lesley stahl has the story for 60 minutes. Reporter south dakota is soybean, corn and wheat country. And right now its reeling. The people really want to jump off a building about what the stock market is doing. Weve been doing that for three years now. We did everything right. We raised great crops, but were still losing our rear ends because of whats happening with the sanctions, and now with the coronavirus its going to be another hit, without a doubt. Imagine three years ago you lost 30 of your paycheck. And then the next year you lost another an, ttsain were feeling. When we bought that, we talked to the salesman reporter doug and bob oversee the farmers unions in north and south dakota with more than 50,000 farmers and livestock producers. The average farm here is less than 1500 acres. Can you hear me, is this okay, this level . We interviewed them remotely. What is happening to your farmers with this virus . Its just accelerating the problem. And we are not being able to sell because everyone is worried if the plants are going to stay open. Reporter and restaurants closing and yeah, the food is starting to backup. The freezers are getting full. Restaurants arent buying. So, yeah, its really becoming a huge issue for us. Eporter with restaurants and schools closed across the country, their markets are shrinking. Its adding to already rising debt and farm bankruptcies aggravated by the trade war with china. They told us the bailout called the Market Facilitation Program that began in 2018, helped them survive the last two years. But didnt come close to covering most of their members losses or their own. How did the tariffs, the sanctions affect you . About 70,000 a year i lost in the last couple years. On our farm we lost in the last three years roughly 125,000 to 200,000 a year. Reporter but what about the bailouts . You had two rounds. This was supposed to tide you over. Did it . Well, it made the banker happy. It didnt do anything for me. Reporter weve seen reports of suicides going up among farmers. Oh, yeah, i know personally families that are suffering through that. Theyre outfout there now. Their family, and theyre the ones that lost the farm. What do you think thats going to do to their mind . Yeah, a lot of depression and just this last year in my hometown, weve lost three young men to suicide. Its just hard, lesli, because you see these young guys coming up and you know you coached them in baseball. You had hopes that youre glad they stayed in the community. And then you end up seeing this happen. And none of their fault, not any of their fault. Its hard. Oh, man, i worry about my kids. My sons are on the farm. I worry about them all the tie. Reporter after President Trump imposed the stringent tariffs in 2018, china struck back hard here in the farm belt, imposing its own steep tariffs, especially impacting soybeans, our largest agricultural export to china, and sending Commodity Prices into a freefall. The addepron era fund for agriculture, and provided 28 billion for farmers. Almost 3 billion to purchase surpluses for food banks and other nutrition programs, and more than 24 billion in direct aid to farmers. We will ensure that our farmers get the relief they need and very, very quickly. Its a good time to be a farmer. Were going to make sure of that. Reporter but so far most of the money has gone to the biggest farms. Onethird of it to just 4 of them. Even farm owners who personally report nearly 1 million in income per year are eligible. We spoke to agriculture secretary sonny purdue in march in the early days of the pandemic before social distancing was the norm. He defended the trade war bailout and the payments to farmers that were based on the amount of crops produced in 2018, and by planted acreage in 2019. Its not a welfare program. Its not a subsidy. Its not a price support system. It is a market damage system, a disruption there. Reporter these payments are disproportionately going to the big, wealthy farms at the expense of the smaller farms. Yeah. Reporter where the suffering is. The fact is, lesli, most of our production in america is done by large farmers. Thats just the way it happens. These are, these are awards based on production, but we did try. We got payment limits that cut people off. Reporter but the payment limits dont always cut people off. The limit or the cap designed specifically for the biggest operators used to be 125,000 per person or legal entity. But that was raised last year to 250,000. But why did you double the cap, the limit . We saw the amount of trade damage that was happening here, the need was out there to keep these farmers where they could continue. Not be made whole, but continue to survive, to farm again the next year. They made changes for the very largest farmers. If youre a small farmer, you dont have to worry about the limits. Youre going to not come close to hitting them. But large farmers, they changed it so a husband could get 250,000, his wife could get 250,000. Reporter ken cook is the president of the Environmental Working Group thats been tracking farm subsidies for decades, and now the direct payments to farmers under the trump administrations bailout. The usda data cook obtained through a search of public records show farms are actually collecting millions of dollars way over the cap. They do it by exploiting permissive eligibility rules that the administration adopted from congresss farm bills. Those rules allow big farms to collect maximum payments on behalf of not just the farmer, but many others. Cousins, uncles, aunts. Reporter so lets say i have a cousin who is a farmer and im a reporter in new york. I sit here. I dont do any farming, but im a cousin. Thats right. Reporter i can get money . You can get money. Maybe you have to make a phone call a couple of times a year. Reporter but i dont have to even go there . You dont have to live on the farm or visit the farm. These payments arent just going to farmers who are there uon a reporter many farms today have investors. Call them absentee owners who also collect bailout money. When we checked, we found hundreds of recipients living in big cities, including new york city, miami, san francisco. Among them, a banker, an architect, a composer, a classical musician. Not south dakotas doug somkes idea of a farmer. I mean, my sons are the ones out here working. Theyre the ones that should get the money. You got dirt under your fingernails, youre the one that should be getting the money, no one else. Reporter but doesnt the money come to the farm . No, it can go anywhere. They can distribute it as the Corporation Sees fit, right . If youre a very large farm operation and youre eligible for these payments, the most important tool as a farmer is not whats in your machine shed. Its the lawyer you hire, to set up a paper farm thats designed to absorb as much federal money, as much trump payment as possible. You can see the full 60 minutes report on ourebsi cbsnews. Com.
