An opinion piece argues that USDA's $8 billion Harvest Fuel Relief Program was announced weeks before the midterms and is funded through the Commodity Credit Corporation, which also backs crop insurance. It says diesel costs rose from $3.62 to $6.31 per gallon year on year and calls for reviewing cash-disbursement programs.
The piece is commentary on fiscal policy rather than a new supply or demand event, so it has little direct effect on feed or commodity prices.
