exhausted from the air stream more quickly. >> reporter: fresh air, fewer infections. are people in the restaurant business going to have to consider in the future in your mind, what kind of air conditioning system they have and how it moves air? >> i think we're all going to be considering our air systems in buildings much more seriously moving forward. and i think restaurateurs will be included in that scenario. >> reporter: as for the outdoor dining, professor van den wymelenberg said t ♪ ♪ ♪

over the next few months, the government will disperse a $19 billion bailout for farmers hurt by the coronavirus pandemic. to get an idea of where that money may be going, we looked at an earlier $28 billion farm program meant to offset damages from president trump's trade war with china. lesley stahl has the story for "60 minutes." >> reporter: south dakota is soybean, corn and wheat country. and right now it's reeling. >> the people really want to jump off a building about what the stock market is doing. we've been doing that for three years now. we did everything right. we raised great crops, but we're still losing our rear ends because of what's happening with the sanctions, and now with the coronavirus it's going to be

another hit, without a doubt. >> imagine three years ago you lost 30% of your paycheck. and then the next year you lost another an, tt'sain we're feeling. >> when we bought that, we talked to the salesman -- >> reporter: doug and bob oversee the farmers unions in north and south dakota with more than 50,000 farmers and livestock producers. the average farm here is less than 1500 acres. can you hear me, is this okay, this level? we interviewed them remotely. what is happening to your farmers with this virus? >> it's just accelerating the problem. and we are not being able to sell because everyone is worried if the plants are going to stay open. >> reporter: and restaurants closing and -- >> yeah, the food is starting to backup. the freezers are getting full. restaurants aren't buying. so, yeah, it's really becoming a huge issue for us. >>eporter: with restaurants and schools closed across the country, their markets are shrinking.

it's adding to already rising debt and farm bankruptcies aggravated by the trade war with china. they told us the bailout called the market facilitation program that began in 2018, helped them survive the last two years. but didn't come close to covering most of their members' losses or their own. how did the tariffs, the sanctions affect you? >> about $70,000 a year i lost in the last couple years. >> on our farm we lost in the last three years roughly $125,000 to $200,000 a year. >> reporter: but what about the bailouts? you had two rounds. this was supposed to tide you over. did it? >> well, it made the banker happy. it didn't do anything for me. >> reporter: we've seen reports of suicides going up among farmers. >> oh, yeah, i know personally families that are suffering through that. - they're outfout there now.

their family, and they're the ones that lost the farm. what do you think that's going to do to their mind? >> yeah, a lot of depression and just -- this last year in my hometown, we've lost three young men to suicide. it's just hard, lesli, because you see these young guys coming up and you know you coached them in baseball. you had hopes that you're glad they stayed in the community. and then you end up seeing this happen. and none of their fault, not any of their fault. it's hard. oh, man, i worry about my kids. my sons are on the farm. i worry about them all the tie. >> reporter: after president trump imposed the stringent tariffs in 2018, china struck back hard here in the farm belt, imposing its own steep tariffs,

especially impacting soybeans, our largest agricultural export to china, and sending commodity prices into a freefall. the addepron era fund for agriculture, and provided $28 billion for farmers. almost $3 billion to purchase surpluses for food banks and other nutrition programs, and more than $24 billion in direct aid to farmers. >> we will ensure that our farmers get the relief they need and very, very quickly. it's a good time to be a farmer. we're going to make sure of that. >> reporter: but so far most of the money has gone to the biggest farms. one-third of it to just 4% of them. even farm owners who personally report nearly $1 million in income per year are eligible. we spoke to agriculture secretary sonny purdue in march in the early days of the pandemic before social distancing was the norm.

he defended the trade war bailout and the payments to farmers that were based on the amount of crops produced in 2018, and by planted acreage in 2019. >> it's not a welfare program. it's not a subsidy. it's not a price support system. it is a market damage system, a disruption there. >> reporter: these payments are disproportionately going to the big, wealthy farms at the expense of the smaller farms. >> yeah. >> reporter: where the suffering is. >> the fact is, lesli, most of our production in america is done by large farmers. that's just the way it happens. these are, these are awards based on production, but we did try. we got payment limits that cut people off. >> reporter: but the payment limits don't always cut people off. the limit or the cap designed specifically for the biggest operators used to be $125,000

per person or legal entity. but that was raised last year to $250,000. but why did you double the cap, the limit? >> we saw the amount of trade damage that was happening here, the need was out there to keep these farmers where they could continue. not be made whole, but continue to survive, to farm again the next year. >> they made changes for the very largest farmers. if you're a small farmer, you don't have to worry about the limits. you're going to not come close to hitting them. but large farmers, they changed it so a husband could get $250,000, his wife could get $250,000. >> reporter: ken cook is the president of the environmental working group that's been tracking farm subsidies for decades, and now the direct payments to farmers under the trump administration's bailout. the usda data cook obtained through a search of public records show farms are actually collecting millions of dollars way over the cap.

they do it by exploiting permissive eligibility rules that the administration adopted from congress's farm bills. those rules allow big farms to collect maximum payments on behalf of not just the farmer, but many others. >> cousins, uncles, aunts. >> reporter: so let's say i have a cousin who is a farmer and i'm a reporter in new york. i sit here. i don't do any farming, but i'm a cousin. >> that's right. >> reporter: i can get money? >> you can get money. maybe you have to make a phone call a couple of times a year. >> reporter: but i don't have to even go there? >> you don't have to live on the farm or visit the farm. these payments aren't just going to farmers who are there uon a >> reporter: many farms today have investors. call them absentee owners who

also collect bailout money. when we checked, we found hundreds of recipients living in big cities, including new york city, miami, san francisco. among them, a banker, an architect, a composer, a classical musician. not south dakota's doug somke's idea of a farmer. >> i mean, my sons are the ones out here working. they're the ones that should get the money. you got dirt under your fingernails, you're the one that should be getting the money, no one else. >> reporter: but doesn't the money come to the farm? >> no, it can go anywhere. they can distribute it as the corporation sees fit, right? >> if you're a very large farm operation and you're eligible for these payments, the most important tool as a farmer is not what's in your machine shed. it's the lawyer you hire, to set up a paper farm that's designed to absorb as much federal money, as much trump payment as possible.
