A Clear Need for Additional Assistance

USDA’s Farmer Bridge Assistance payments will be coming out at the end of next month. Minnesota Soybean Growers Association Past President Jamie Beyer says the need is there. “There is an opportunity to cover more losses and I think there are folks in the government who recognized there were a multitude of disruptions over the past two years.” Beyer, a new member of the American Soybean Association’s executive committee, said work must be done to move through the large soybean supplies. That includes exports and domestic usage. “We’re continuing to chew on those issues, making sure we can use bushels in our renewable fuels and biodiesel and get those exported to the countries that want to pay.”
