Learn about new legislation and program changes to assist farmers.
Recent COVID-19 relief legislation enabled a number of programs to provide additional financial support to a wide range of agricultural businesses. These programs include updates to the Payroll Protection Program (PPP), Employee Retention Credits, Economic Injury Disaster Loans, Sick Leave Tax Credits, and an expansion of the CFAP programs.
Michigan State University Extension is providing a free webinar, Return of the Coronavirus Relief Programs for Agriculture, on Feb. 11 from noon to 1 p.m.
In this webinar, Corey Clark, MSU Extension farm business management educator, will provide an overview of the legislation and the program changes that benefit agriculture.
Participants will learn about program eligibility, what types of records will be needed to program participation, and who to contact for more information. Clark will also share additional resources that farmers will find useful as they make decisions around these federal programs.
To register for the webinar, visit the farm management website at https://bit.ly/36UK2kb. Once registered, individuals will be provided with a link to the webinar.
