Resumen
Descripción
We report results from preliminary analysis of the recently constructed dataset from the
Farm Service Agency, FSA 1614. FSA 1614 provides the location of the farm and the
farm payment recipient for all Title I payments. This makes it possible to analyze the
spatial dispersion between landowner and farm more precisely than previously possible.
A discussion of what research questions could be informed through the use of this data is
provided. We find that a significant percentage of payments are sent to individuals that
are likely to be absentee landowners, although this value is much smaller when looking at
the total value of payments. These national results are compared to four corn belt states.
