USDA worked quickly to get payments pushed out via the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP), and USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue told the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) that a coming second round of aid could help address shortcomings the department had to grapple with as it initially pushed to get aid out the door.
Since CFAP only covered losses incurred through April 15, there has been criticism from those in agriculture how say that there were sizable losses that happened after that date.
“We have listened and will be coming with a CFAP 2 program,” Perdue said, which will address that issue.
Expectations are the CFAP 2 effort should be announced soon and signup is expected to start shortly after the effort gets announced.
Welcome
