USDA's $8 billion Harvest Fuel Relief Program is meant to help farmers offset higher diesel costs, but payments may not begin until closer to year-end. USDA Undersecretary Richard Fordyce told Reuters no firm distribution schedule has been set.
USDA estimates agricultural fuel spending will rise by nearly $5 billion versus last year.
