The U.S. Department of Agriculture has responded to a Bloomberg report on the details of the new trade aid, calling it inaccurate. In a statement, USDA says the details on the new farming support system will be announced soon, but the new program is being designed to avoid skewing planting decisions. The agency also says farmers should continue to make their planting and production decisions with the current market signals in mind, rather than an expectation of a farm support program.
