Abstract: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is implementing a second round of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP 2.0) for producers of agricultural commodities marketed in 2020 who face continuing market disruptions, low farm-level prices, and significant marketing costs. These additional significant marketing costs are associated with declines in demand, surplus production, or disruptions to shipping patterns and the orderly marketing of commodities.
