The Trump administration on Monday rolled out a $12 billion relief package, funded by tariff revenue, aimed at farmers who have been hammered by depressed crop prices and a sharp drop in exports.
Roughly $11 billion of the funding will flow through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) new Farmer Bridge Assistance (FBA) program, which will offer one-time bridge payments to growers of major row crops, including soybeans, corn, wheat, rice, and cotton. The remaining funds will be directed to producers of specialty crops that fall outside the FBA program.
