A bipartisan, bicameral letter was sent to the USDA April 6, urging relief for cattle producers who have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
The letter was led by Sens. John Thune (R-SD) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and was signed by more than 145 lawmakers.
“America’s cattle producers have been hit hard by the unforeseen financial challenges brought on by this pandemic.
We thank each and every lawmaker that showed their continued support to rural families by signing onto this critical letter,” said National Cattlemen’s Beef Association President Marty Smith.
“We remain hopeful that USDA can quickly deliver this relief to the cattle producers that so desperately need it.”
