President Trump is expected to announce an aid package this afternoon for America’s farmers and ranchers.
According to AgriPulse, the White House will unveil a $12 billion-dollar assistance package. USDA will create a Farmer Bridge Assistance program to help farmers deal with low crop prices and tariff retaliation.
The program will disperse $11 billion in one-time payments, and the rest $1 billion will go to commodities not covered.
