Subject

Description

Government spending for agriculture in the U.S. is incredibly high, as the farming system the country currently runs on is based on large monocrop systems that grow commodity crops dependent on huge government subsidies. These maps display the entirety of U.S. farmland, the distribution of farm size per country (with smaller farms excluded,) the distribution of government spending and the distribution of commodity crop growth overlaid on that spending.
