The following statement may be attributed to Texas Farm Bureau President Russell Boening following today’s signing by President Trump of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
“Today’s signing by President Trump of the economic recovery package known as the CARES Act is welcome news for Texas farm and ranch families suffering economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.
“These measures provide emergency funding to help farmers and ranchers survive during this national health emergency. Sharp declines in commodity prices and disruptions in market access have put a serious financial strain on America’s producers of food, fiber and fuel.
“This historic stimulus package represents a positive step in the economic recovery of Texas farmers and ranchers. Texas Farm Bureau thanks the administration and the Texas Congressional delegation for working to enact this important legislation. We look forward to its implementation.”

IS THERE ANY MUCH NEEDED HELP FOR THE DAIRY FARMERS.
That’s great so when is cattle and fuel prices going up. I’m not looking for a handout, when can I get a fair market value on beef?
So please clarify how this Care Act will help with the extremely low prices of cattle. They have been bad but have worsened recently.
I would like to know too how to get help for these low cattle prices.
