# Trump is proposing a $12B aid package for farmers hit hard by his trade war with China

> According to a White House official, President Trump plans a $12 billion farm aid package, with more than $11 billion set aside for the USDA Farmer Bridge Assistance program's one-time payments to row-crop farmers. The rest is earmarked for growers of crops not covered by that program. Soybeans and sorghum were hit hardest by the China dispute, and the plan is to be unveiled at a White House roundtable.

## Why it matters

Direct payments help sustain planted area and farm income for soybean and sorghum growers, but they do not add demand. The effect on prices is limited unless the aid changes planting or storage decisions.
