A task force is being created to get processing plants back up and running while providing support for workers and farmers. House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson says he will also work to change a statute in the Commodity Credit Corporation to allow the USDA to pay farmers for depopulating healthy animals. “They don’t have that now. That’s part of what I want to do. The other thing is I want this to be up-to-date every year so we can deal with it quickly.”
