This article deals with the tools and methods of government support for agricultural producers in the United States. The importance of the policy of ensuring farm incomes through direct budget subsidies, preferential lending, and subsidized insurance is emphasized. State support programs for farmers are analyzed. The institutional and legal basis of state regulation of agriculture is revealed. Particular attention is paid to financing energy programs aimed at stimulating the energy efficiency of farms, the development of alternative energy technologies, and the implementation of environmentally friendly projects, which will make American agricultural producers more competitive. Issues that reveal government policy and measures to support exports are considered. The priorities of the American strategy of foreign economic expansion by limiting the access of agri-food products of competing countries to world agricultural markets are revealed. It is concluded that it is necessary to take measures to counter the American policy of "hidden" sanctions against the Russian agri-food sector, attempts to prevent Russian agri-food products from entering the markets of African and Asian countries that need quality food products in the context of an intensifying food crisis and a growing number of hungry people in the world.
