A farm business expert says the USDA Market Facilitation Program payment is an unplanned injection of cash. Iowa State University farm management specialist Steve Johnson says growers should get soybean production data to the Farm Service Agency (FSA) as soon as harvest wraps up.
“I think farmers are going to be surprised that those first payments that they’re going to get on soybeans are going to at least reduce the amount of cash flow concerns they have this fall,” Johnson told Brownfield Ag News Friday.
