OPINION U.S. House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin C. Peterson of Minnesota says there are multiple provisions to benefit dairy farmers in the new COVID-19-relief compromise package. “This compromise package contains strong support for dairies nationwide,” he said. “Support for product donations, improvements to Dairy Margin Coverage for small and medium farms, additional help for larger farmers that have previously been payment-limited, authority to make recourse loans on dairy products, funding for animal health and investments in meat-processing are all programs that will help dairy farmers in the near term and in the long run. While it’s not perfect, and there are areas within the package that could be improved, it’s a good down payment on the help that dairy producers in Minnesota and across the country need. I’m encouraged that the package got such overwhelming bipartisan support.”
