The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Montana is hosting two webinars open to the public on June 8 and on June 15.
Producers and others involved in agriculture will have an opportunity to learn about the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) available to farmers and ranchers whose operations have been directly impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. The CFAP will provide direct relief to producers who faced price declines and additional marketing costs due to COVID-19. The webinars will highlight basic program information and educational outreach resources that are available.
