Relief should soon be on the way for farmers.
The Trump Administration plans to roll out a plan early next month, a USDA official tells ABC News. Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins says farmers can expect the plan the first week of December.
“We’ve been able to really analyze, build our formulas around what is happening. We’re obviously in a different place today than we were a couple of months ago. Having said that, we expect to release and announce that the first week of December.”
This comes after several officials have told President Trump that producers need help amid his tariff plan.
