President Donald J. Trump and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue announced on September 17th that USDA will implement an expansion of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program. Coronavirus Food Assistance Program 2, CFAP 2, will provide producers with financial assistance that gives them the ability to absorb some of the increased marketing costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. CFAP 2 will use funding and authorities provided in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and other USDA existing authorities. This $14 billion immediate relief program includes direct support to agricultural producers. CSU Extension and the USDA Farm Service Agency have teamed up to conduct a CFAP 2 webinar.
