USDA announces ECAP commodity assistance program: How to apply for payments and what farmers can expect to receive

Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced today that farmers will soon receive direct payments through the Emergency Commodity Assistance Program. This program, managed by the Farm Service Agency, is designed to help farmers deal with rising costs for supplies while commodity prices are falling. The USDA's Emergency Commodity Assistance Program will provide direct payments to farmers facing rising costs. American Farm Bureau Federation Vice President Scott VanderWal revealed that he has already begun to hear the stories of farmers being denied the operating loans to buy crops for the fields this spring.
