Enrollment is open for the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program through USDA. National Sunflower Association Executive Director John Sandbakken says sunflower growers can reap the benefits of the program. “With the CFAP, there is a $2 per hundredweight payment. The CCC payment is also a $2 payment for sunflowers,” says Sandbakken. “When you combine the two there is about $4 per hundredweight payment, which is nice to see. Hopefully producers will signup and take advantage of this.” Signup for the program remains open through August 28.
