Denver International Airport collected about $400,000 in federal agricultural subsidies between 1995 and 2003 by renting up to 18,000 acres of its land to farmers.
About two-thirds of that money went to the farmers.
The city-owned airport acknowledged the subsidies this week after the Independence Institute, a conservative Colorado think tank, spotted the payments.
The airport stopped receiving the farm payments in 2004 but now gets federal subsidies for grasslands erosion control.
