American Relief Act Economic Assistance and Disaster Aid Payments - Webinar Slides and Recording
Note this webinar was produced before USDA final rulings were published. As such, payment rates discussed are slightly different from the USDA announced payment rates for each crop. The initial payment to farmers will only be 85% of the calculated payment rate, to make sure total payments stay under the $10 Billion of funds approved by congress.
