USDA says farmers need no crop insurance to get $8 billion diesel aid

The USDA says farmers don't need crop insurance to qualify for the $8 billion Harvest Fuel Relief program Trump announced at a Kansas rally.

Posted Updated (13 d ago)

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said farmers do not need crop insurance to qualify for the new $8 billion Harvest Fuel Relief program, CBS News reports. The agency said farmers can get ready to apply by creating a Login.gov account.

President Trump announced the program Monday at a rally in Kansas. The New York Times reports the Agriculture Department will provide economic aid to farmers hurt by high diesel prices. The Hill describes it as temporary relief during the harvest season. ABC News says it targets farmers facing record-high diesel prices.

The Hill reports the rally was held for Republican Sen. Roger Marshall, who is running for reelection against Democrat Adam Hamilton. The Hill calls the race competitive. ABC News described the visit as part of Trump's midterm pitch.

The reports do not say how payments will be calculated, what other eligibility rules apply, or when money will go out.
