The USDA announced that it will begin issuing Emergency Relief Program payments soon. Minnesota Soybean Growers Association President Bob Worth explains that some farmers had issues with how Phase 2 eligibility was determined. “Those payments are strictly based on your financials from your tax returns and some farmers were quite upset about having to show them.” Worth said farmers have also expressed concerns about how long the programs have taken to roll out. “There’s a lot of young farmers who could have used this money a year ago or two years ago. We have to try to figure out a way to make it better.”
