USDA has obligated more than $6 billion under its $12 billion Farmer Bridge Assistance program, with over 277,000 applications received as of March 3. Payments target 2025 crop-year losses from weak prices and export tariff disruptions, with corn and soybean growers leading sign-ups.
Direct payments can support farmer liquidity and delay selling, slightly supporting corn and soybean prices, though the effect on feed demand is modest.
