Washington, DC — The first part of a three-part farm aid package is scheduled to be rolled out by the USDA in about three weeks.
Spirit Lake farmer, and former Iowa Ag Secretary Bill Northey, the USDA Undersecretary for Farm and Foreign Ag Services, says more details will be out soon on what’s being called a market facilitation program.
Northey says the delay on the program’s details is because they’re still working on the rule-making part of the process.
Northey says they’re trying to make it so producers can certify their production numbers as simply as possible.
Northey also encourages farmers and ranchers to visit that site for more details on the tariff aid package.
That website again is farmers.gov.
