The USDA has finalized plans to extend pandemic relief payments to farmers, ranchers, and processors left out of previous rounds of aid.
Senator Sherrod Brown says it’s critical there is an emphasis on “biofuel produces, small- and mid-sized dairies, small family-owned timber harvesters, and organic producers. The bill was written in a way to make sure that all kinds of small farmers get more help.”
The assistance is part of the $6 billion package announced in March.
