Agriculture Groups Call For Changes To Disaster Loan Program
Thirty-eight agriculture groups and businesses sent a letter to congressional leaders requesting changes to the Paycheck Protection Program. Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting sectors received only 1.3% of the original $349 billion in approved funding.
The letter states, “several issues remain with the Small Business Administration’s implementation of the Paycheck Protection Program that have made it challenging for farmers and ranchers to participate.”
