As a consequence of economies of size throughout agriculture, the benefits of farm
subsidies are increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few large operations.
Specifically, for honey, one analysis has determined that over the 1995-2004 period, all
$29 million in honey subsidies went to 2,727 recipients. Furthermore, 57% of the money
went to 10% of recipients (272 producers).
