Read MoreThe Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act legislation, that passed the Senate earlier this week was also passed by the House of Representatives and signed by President Trump on Friday. The $2.2 trillion aid package includes a number of important provisions to help workers, families, employers and health professionals during this crisis.
As a whole and not specific to only agriculture, the largest stimulus package in modern America:
There is $23.5 billion in aid directly allocated for America’s farmers. Of that, $9.5 billion is allocated specifically for specialty crops, producers who supply local food systems and farmers markets, restaurants and schools, livestock producers, i.e., cattlemen and women, and dairy farmers.
“This bill recognizes that there are serious economic issues for all sectors of agriculture, from those who grow crops on a large scale to those who sell their products directly to consumers and everyone in between,” said Jack Irvin, senior director of state and national policy with Ohio Farm Bureau. “As determinations are made at USDA as to how these programs will be implemented, Farm Bureau will be in the trenches to provide input that will bring some certainty and hope for everyone involved in America’s food system.”
