Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin says proposed changes to make the Paycheck Protection Program more accessible for farmers are part of President Biden’s American Rescue package. She tells Brownfield, “It is being worked on in the House of Representatives. We think that they’re going to work probably partway through this weekend and that we’ll get the bill (in the Senate) early next week so we are making steady and expedient progress on it.”

Baldwin says the PPP was created last spring for the coronavirus emergency, but it wasn’t working for most farmers.
