The Trump Administration is expected to announce a $12 billion farm aid package today. The so-called bridge payments are expected to be similar to the Market Facilitation Program payments made during the president’s first term. The funds for the new program will likely be administered through the Farm Service Agency using Commodity Credit Corporation money. President Donald Trump is scheduled to make the announcement early this afternoon with Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent by his side. Farm groups will also be part of the announcement.
