As the possibility of many of them could be losing the farm. Trusting trump is a losing proposition, just ask anyone who was contracted by him , or all the bankers he's screwed over so much no banks would loan him money in this country.

Twenty-four Iowa farmers snagged less than $10, with 11 getting $5 or less.

Overall, the average payment to farmers is $7,236, based on the Washington, D.C., group's data.

Most of the small checks are headed to corn growers, who are getting a penny a bushel in assistance under President Donald Trump's $12 billion emergency farm aid package.
