The USDA is releasing $3-4 Billion dollars for ag producers and businesses as part of the $6 billion Pandemic Assistance for Producers initiative created in March.
“The biofuel industry, the dairy industry, contract growers, organic producers, small meat processing capacity/facilities (and more).”
Ag Secretary Vilsack told the Senate Appropriations Committee this morning that the dairy help includes a program to defray the costs of donated milk, supplemental margin coverage payments for small to mid-sized producers, and financial help to reduce the differential between class one and class three milk pricing.
