Food Supply Chain

Connecticut's Governor Ned Lamont has announced $22.5 million in financial aid for family-owned dairy farms. This relief, sourced from the Federal Cuts Response Fund, aims to mitigate the economic impacts of federal policies and rising production costs, ensuring the sustainability of local dairy operations.

A late April freeze devastated Pennsylvania fruit crops, leading to losses of up to 80%. Representative Dan Moul is calling for urgent emergency funding through both state and federal disaster programs to support affected farmers and stabilize the agricultural supply chain.
