PARKER, Colo. (RFD-TV) — As the government shutdown continues, a long-anticipated aid package for farmers is now on hold — delaying relief for producers already facing tight margins. The shutdown has also paused USDA reporting, fueling speculation about what this means for the future of the Farm Bill.
Farm CPA Paul Neiffer joined us on Thursday’s Market Day Report to share his perspective on the uncertain outlook for federal relief, noting that many in the industry expect progress to stall until the shutdown ends.
In his interview with RFD-TV News, Neiffer also weighed in on the status of renewable energy credits, many of which have expired or are set to expire soon. However, he explained that the solar tax credit still offers valuable opportunities for farmers over the next few years.
He also outlined the value of the credit and clarified how it can work alongside a REAP grant, helping producers offset installation costs and invest in long-term energy savings.
Neiffer emphasized that while the current environment poses financial challenges, thoughtful business planning and awareness of available programs can help farmers stay resilient until federal support resumes.
