They don't have to be farmers to collect.
This is actually a back-door reparations scam.
Most blacks collecting from this second round of payments are city and town dwellers whose closest encounter with a farm was a bucket of KFC chicken.
All they have to do to collect is say they would have liked to be farmers but never pursued it because they knew they would be discriminated against on the basis of their skin color.
Yeah; sorta like "Judge, I was gonna buy a Lottery ticket, but....."
Any YOU WIN!
