The USDA detailed a $12 billion farm aid package that favors rice and cotton growers, while soybean farmers warn of financial strain. Specialty crop and sugar producers are awaiting details on a separate $1 billion allocation.
The aid was first announced December 8 to help farmers cover seed, fertilizer and other costs after losing China sales.
Aid supports US farm income and planting decisions but does not directly change grain or feed supply. Price impact is limited, though it may sustain acreage for rice and cotton.
