Guess who is the biggest beneficiary of the U.S Farm Bill? Is it farmers??? NO.

It’s Walmart. Take a look:

“When people think of the U.S. Farm Bill, they usually picture money going to farmers. But the truth is, most of that money actually goes to food assistance programs like SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), which helps low-income families buy groceries.

Here’s where it gets interesting:
Walmart—the biggest grocery store chain in the country—gets a huge amount of that money.

Out of all the stores where people use SNAP, Walmart gets 25.8% of those dollars. Kroger gets 8.4%, and Albertsons gets 5.9%.

Now, look at the big picture:

The 2023 Farm Bill will cost $1.51 trillion over 10 years.

About 81% of that (or $1.223 trillion) goes to SNAP.

Walmart’s share—25.8% of $1.223 trillion—adds up to around $315.5 billion.

That means Walmart ends up with about 20% of the entire farm bill budget—even though it’s not a farm.

So even though the Farm Bill is supposed to support agriculture, the biggest single beneficiary is actually a giant retail company: Walmart.”
