The Administration’s farm relief package targets row crops with $11 billion in assistance. In addition to corn, soybeans and wheat, that list includes sunflowers, barley, canola and lentils. The Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance, which represents fruit and vegetable growers, is disappointed it was not included in the first round of payments. A total of $1 billion has been reserved for non-row crop commodities, such as sugarbeets or potatoes. The details for those payments are still being determined.
