President Trump reversed course and signed the bill that funds the government and provides a third round of coronavirus relief payments.
The coronavirus relief for farmers includes a billion dollars to compensate for depopulated poultry and livestock losses for up to 80% of their value. Row crop farmers will be eligible for new 20-dollar-an-acre payments for the same qualifying crops as the last round of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP-2). American Farm Bureau estimates the new aid will amount to nearly 1.8 billion dollars for corn, 1.7 billion dollars for soybeans, and about 886 million dollars for wheat.
