The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association says the COVID-19 relief package will provide “vital relief” to cattle producers who faced “multiple market shocks” over the past year.
NCBA’s Ethan Lane says the most important provision is for additional Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) support for cattle producers.
“This bill has some calculations in there to go back and provide some additional money for those producers in particular who really kind of fell through the cracks between April 15th and May 15th on the original CFAP program.”
Lane says the bill also provides an important clarification on the Paycheck Protection Program.
