Congress continues to work on another COVID-19 stimulus package. The House-passed HEROES Act would reimburse turkey growers who were forced to euthanize their birds earlier this year. Minnesota Turkey Growers Association Executive Director Sarah Anderson thinks it will be a challenge to get a bill passed before the end of 2020. “Although I heard they’re starting to make some movement in that direction, which would be helpful, but in politics, I’m always cautiously optimistic. I don’t count turkeys before they hatch.” Anderson is also watching for more news on a COVID vaccine. “When you look at how COVID impacted ag workers, it would be beneficial to distribute to them as well as healthcare workers and emergency responders.”
