Brownwood News – The signing by President Trump of the economic recovery package known as the CARES Act is welcome news for Texas farm and ranch families suffering economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Texas Farm Bureau President Russell Boening.
“These measures provide emergency funding to help farmers and ranchers survive during this national health emergency. Sharp declines in commodity prices and disruptions in market access have put a serious financial strain on America’s producers of food, fiber and fuel. This historic stimulus package represents a positive step in the economic recovery of Texas farmers and ranchers. Texas Farm Bureau thanks the administration and the Texas Congressional delegation for working to enact this important legislation. We look forward to its implementation,” Boening said.
