American Farm Bureau wants the federal government to better respond to disasters farmers and ranchers encounter.
AFBF chief economist Roger Cryan says a working group is discussing ways to make disaster payments more timely.
“So that people who are really suffering can get the help they need in the short run instead of having to wait for enactment of legislation and writing of regulations and administrative delays.”
He tells Brownfield payments can take two to three years to arrive.
