WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue have announced up to an additional $14 billion dollars for agricultural producers who continue to face market disruptions and associated costs because of COVID-19.

“This lifeline will keep farmers and ranchers afloat as they continue to keep America’s pantries stocked,” said Zippy Duvall. . .
