The USDA Farm Service Agency reported that the total payments to U.S. poultry farmers under the Coronavirus Food and Agriculture Program (CFAP) amounted to $10.9 million. This represented 0.2% of total CFAP payments of $4.5 billion as of October 13th.
USDA will subsequently release the breakdown of CFAP payments as to broilers, turkeys and eggs although the largest payments were to producers in Minnesota, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania, suggesting a disproportionate share awarded to egg producers.
