Bill overview
This bill provides emergency financial assistance to swine producers who experienced losses of market-ready pigs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, it directs the Department of Agriculture to use $1.2 billion from the Commodity Credit Corporation to help producers reduce the number of pigs they intentionally euthanize because processing facilities were closed or operating at reduced capacity. Payments will be based on the market value of the lost pigs as of April 19, 2020, and are available to producers who began experiencing losses on or after that date.
