Food Stamp Program Boosts Farm Income and Jobs.

[Tootbsb]

While the primary goal of the Food Stamp Program is to help low-income households buy the foods they need for a nutritionally adequate diet, the program also serves another purpose: it increases demand for food products and farm commodities and increases cash receipts for these sectors. ERS researchers estimate that the additional food purchases resulting from each $1 billion of program benefits redeemed generates $97 million in farm cash receipts, which translates into 950 farm jobs and $32 million of income to farmers and hired farmworkers.
