House Agriculture Chair Glenn Thompson said Congress needs to provide at least $10 billion in additional farm aid beyond the $12 billion USDA package, aimed at dairy, timber and specialty crops. USDA is unlikely to provide a second aid package, so any new money would require congressional action.
Potential additional aid could extend farm income support and delay supply response, but the timing is uncertain and the price effect is limited.
