Farmers could see increased payments in a potential third round of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program.

National Corn Growers Association Vice President of Public Policy Brooke Appleton said congress passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act in December…

“Included in that package was an additional $20 per acre payment for CFAP program,” she said. “As well as it gave the USDA the authority to provide support for ethanol producers impacted of course by the drop in demand that we saw throughout last year whenever the pandemic hit.”

She said the Biden administration placing a hold on CFAP payments in January is standard procedure when a new administration takes over.
