On August 17th, Secretary of Agriculture, Dr. Sonny Perdue, announced that the Administration will initiate a second Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) in early September. 

Of the CFAP money distributed to date, cattle producers have received 86 percent of the $3.54 billion assigned to livestock with the remainder for hog producers.  The slow rate of disbursement is attributed to delays in submitting applications as stated by Dr. Perdue and accordingly the deadline for filing has been extended to September 11th.
