The USDA recently announced payouts under the Market Facilitation Program for farmers harmed by tariffs. Farmers will be able to sign-up with the FSA after September 4, but don’t rush because FSA offices are still being trained. Initial payouts will be as follows:
Soybeans: 50% of bushels produced multiplied by $1.65 per bushel
Corn: 50% of bushels produced multiplied by $0.01 per bushel
Dairy: 50% of hundredweight produced multiplied by $0.12 per hundredweight
Pork: 50% of head produced multiplied by $8.00 per head
