A $16 billion program that will offer direct payments to producers is not yet ready for signup, but the Department of Agriculture is urging producers to begin several steps of the application process ahead of time.
In a webinar for producers Thursday, the Farm Service Agency's deputy administrator for farm programs, Bill Beam, highlighted several forms producers will have to complete to receive payments under the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program. The forms, also listed online, detail things like contact information, banking details, and income specifics.
