On September 28th, the USDA reportedly transferred $13 billion dollars from the commodity credit corporation to Secretary Rollins’ office to fund an emergency aid package. At the cabinet meeting, Rollins said emergency payments cannot be released until the government reopens. She said once the shutdown ends, USDA will be ready with a significant program.
