In addition [to a $5 million fraud charge], McKinnon was charged separately in the indictment with defrauding the United States Department of Agriculture and Farm Services Agency by dividing his farming operation into six separate entities in order to receive six subsidy payments when he was entitled to only one.
In addition to the prison sentence, McKinnon was ordered to pay $4 million restitution to United Agri Products. He also was ordered to pay $1.357 million to USDA Farm Services Agency in Douglas.
