Payouts under the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program 1 (CFAP 1) moved up to $10.2 billion as of October 4, according to the Farm Service Agency (FSA).
That includes $4.97 billion for livestock, $2.63 billion for non-specialty crops, $1.76 billion for dairy, $743.7 million for specialty crops and $103.8 million for aqua, nursery and flora crops.
Iowa continues to lead all states with $968.7 million followed by Nebraska at $715.1 million. California has moved up to the third post at $662.4 million followed by Texas at $629.7 million, Minnesota at $608.6 million and Wisconsin at $522.9 million.
Even as farmers are reporting already receiving payments under CFAP 2 where enrollment started September 21, USDA has not made any payment data available. “CFAP 2 data will be available in the coming weeks,” FSA said.
