Despite repeatedly asserting that she has never received income from a family farm that drew federal subsidies in the past, Rep. Michele Bachmann again listed the farm as a source of income when she filed her 2010 personal financial disclosures late last week.
Bachmann also reported that the farm had more than doubled in value since 2009.
The Independence, Wis., farm, Bachmann Farm Family LP, received nearly $260,000 in federal subsidies between 1995 and 2008. At the time, the farm was owned by Bachmann’s father-in-law, Paul Bachmann, who died in May 2009.
Michele Bachmann, her husband, Marcus, and their children are "limited, minority partners" in the farm, according to Bachmann spokeswoman Alice Stewart.
