The Columbus Dispatch has published a data-base search form for crop and conservation subsidies from Oct. 1, 2002 through June 30, 2006. You can enter a name, an organization, a city, or a zip code and see who best cultivates public money.
Enter zip code 43055 and you'll get names of 124 recipients topped by Edward W. Hoskinson with $197,218. Glenn O. Redman is next with $83,383. But if you take all the Shipleys who may or may not be related (Janie, Timothy, Phillip, Donna, David, Melanie and Michael) you get a total of $479,124.
Howard Seigrist, Licking County extension agent, was 10th on the list of cash cultivators with $53,105.
"The information comes from a Dispatch analysis of the Farm Service Agency's new Section 1614 database, released in December 2006," says the Dispatch web site report. Also, "The agency cautions that the database is a snapshot in time, so it may not account for later adjustments in payments."
