Emergency Relief Program (ERP) Phase Two payments currently total $768 million. However, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that it would pay out more than $1 billion by September 30.

Agriculture Accounting Expert Paul Neiffer joined us on Friday on the Market Day Report to take a further look at ERP Phase Two, which he said has not been well received by farmers.
