USDA Farm Subsidies — Nassau County

We have no recorded EWG farm-subsidy payments for Nassau County in the 2024 data. This is common for counties with little program-crop acreage, urban counties, and Alaska boroughs — it does not mean a farm here cannot apply for USDA programs.

Source: EWG Farm Subsidy Database (totalfarm), 2024. Absence of a county recipient row only means no payments were attributed to this county in that release.

Crop Insurance Premium Subsidy

$122,138 in federal crop-insurance premium subsidy (RMA, 2024).

This is a separate program total (premium-subsidy dollars only) — it is not part of the subsidy headline above and is shown on its own. Source: USDA RMA via EWG, 2024.
