USDA is offering additional pandemic assistance for pork producers. The Spot Market Hog Pandemic Program will fill gaps from the previous COVID relief for hog farmers. Previous assistance programs used a flat rate payment throughout the swine industry. With this program, the payments will be calculated by multiplying the number of eligible hogs by a payment rate of $54 per head. Applications will be accepted through February 25.
