a lot of farmers markets have matching programs through federal grants that effectively double snap dollars, it's a big farm subsidy especially for small farmers
100% the case. "ag subsidies for Rs, food stamps for Ds, at the same time, in the same farm bill" was a stable arrangement for a generation and then house psychos blew up the deal in 2013 saying "no, just subsidies!!" https://prospect.org/economy/food-stamp-out/
