We show that millions of dollars in Federal Farm Subsidies are flowing into major American urban areas- where there are no farms...

Examples from our report: 

1. Three Year Economic Savings Program, Inc- a charity-arm of The Nation of Islam based in Chicago, received farm subsidies at the home address of Minister Louis Farrakhan.

2. New York based National Audubon Society received $960,000 - including a New York based tobacco subsidy. 

 3. Executives at U.S. Department of Agriculture and lobbyists in Washington, D.C. the people who created and manage these transfers, participate in the subsidy largess.  

 4. Elected U.S. Senators and Representatives received hundreds of thousands of dollars in farms subsidies.
