Exhibit 660 · GAO report
USDA Market Facilitation Program: Stronger Adherence to Quality Guidelines Would Improve Future Economic Analyses (GAO-22-468)
total 2019 MFP payments to corn producers were approximately $3 billion more than USDA’s estimate of trade damage to corn
USDA's trade-damage baselines for 2019 MFP were not representative and not transparently documented. County-based payment rates paid producers of the same crop differently by county, and total payments to a crop differed from USDA's own damage estimate.
