When farmers applied for relief payments through the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP), farmers were only guaranteed 80% of the payment they were eligible for. According to Bill Northey, USDA’s undersecretary for farm production and conservation, farmers can expect to receive the remaining 20% by the end of August.
According to Agri-Pulse, Northey said there should be enough money on hand to give farmers the remaining 20% of what they are due under the $16 billion CFAP, by the time signup for the program ends Aug. 28.
