In 2024, USDA purchased more than a million metric tons of U.S. crops, including soybeans, rice, and wheat, for a total of more than $510 million across the three programs, according to agency data.
Planned grain sales for Food for Progress alone in January and February totaled about 315,000 metric tons, worth $150 million, said one source familiar with the program contracts.

Yeah, all of a sudden, folks in Red states are saying the food part of USAID was really important (unlike “$100 million for condoms” BS), because their residents were getting paid for the grains.

That’s “excessive, out-of-control government spending” for ya.
