USDA’s Latest Coronavirus Aid May Not Be the Last, NMPF’s Bleiberg Says
ARLINGTON, VA – This week farmers received welcome relief from the Trump Administration through its
Coronavirus Food Assistance Program, for which farmers can sign up starting May
26 – but that may not be Washington’s last work on farm aid this year. More assistance
may be on the way, even though the details and timing remain unclear, according
to Paul Bleiberg, vice president for government relations at the National Milk
Producers Federation.
“It’s hard to tell exactly what will happen, but
I think we will see some kind of a give-and-take between House Democrats, Senate Republicans and obviously the
administration as well,” Bleiberg said in an NMPF podcast. To listen to the
