Abstract

U.S. food assistance programs are estimated to have increased food expenditures by $7.7 billion in 1989/90. The additionality per dollar was higher for school lunch (66 cents) and school breakfast ($1.00) programs than for the Food Stamp Program (28 cents). Farm income rose by 6 cents for each dollar of food assistance. The effects on farm prices were very small, averaging less than 1 percent. Effect on dairy prices was greater.
