U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) announced that Texas agricultural producers who have suffered losses due to the coronavirus pandemic may now apply for assistance from the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP).
“Because of the pandemic and its forced closures, many of Texas’ agricultural producers have experienced a lapse in demand or added logistical challenges that have greatly affected their bottom line,” said Sen. Cornyn.
Additional information on the program and how to apply through your local Farm Service Agency Service Center can be found here.
Sen. Cornyn launched a series of statewide outreach calls with Texas farmers, small businesses, healthcare workers, nonprofits, local municipalities, agricultural groups, trade associations, and other Texans on March 6.
