Several Democratic Senators are calling for USDA to allow dairy farmers and other livestock producers to receive CFAP2 payments for losses related to meat production from breeding animals.
The Senators say farmers were able to receive direct payments on breeding stock during the first wave of COVID aid and the decision to exclude the category is troubling considering USDA clearly has sufficient resources to cover the losses.
U.S. Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue tells Brownfield there is no possibility the program will be changed.
