Farm groups are somewhat positive in response to USDA’s release of more trade mitigation payment details, though many still say they’d rather have trade over aid.

The National Corn Growers Association welcomed the quick roll out of the county payment rates and were positive in the USDA’s efforts to reorient MFP to better reflect market impacts and support American farmers.
