Federal Farm Payments Provide Support to Wisconsin Corn Growers
What happened
Paul Jarvis, a corn grower in Wisconsin, received payments from the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs. Officials with the U.S. Department of Agriculture expect these programs to provide over $13 billion nationwide for the 2025 crop year, with corn growers expected to receive about $5 billion. These payments are coming as farmers face low commodity prices and continued pressure on profit margins.

Why it matters
The payments offer important support to the agricultural sector in Wisconsin during a period of low commodity prices. Paul Jarvis noted that while the payments serve as a safety net, they are not a long-term solution for farm profitability. Furthermore, USDA plans to add new base acres nationwide starting with the 2026 crop year, which is expected to benefit Wisconsin producers.
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection regulates agricultural and trade activities in the state.
