Fri, 29 Jan 2021 08:45:06 CST
American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented on the USDA suspension of CFAP payments.
"The pandemic has taken an unprecedented toll on American agriculture, and the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program has provided a lifeline for farmers and ranchers across the country. Many growers who previously did not qualify for assistance continue to suffer losses and need the help CFAP provides.
"We recognize the new administration's desire to review important farmer and rancher assistance programs and we urge USDA to take into consideration our comments on how to improve such programs
We appreciate that CFAP applications will continue to be accepted, and we encourage the swift resumption of distribution of resources to the people who are working to keep America's pantries stocked."
