Attention remains on USDA and the timing of an announcement of another round of aid for farmers under the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program or CFAP 2.
The effort, sources advise, will shift to using revenue as the benchmark to determine payments as opposed to price as was used to make the first CFAP payments.
Those payments covered the period to mid-April, and USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue has signaled the next round will over a period beyond April 15.
The measure was still shown as being under review at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as of the close of business Friday (September 11).
