Minnesota farmer says 2019 cash flow hinged on MFP

The Market Facilitation Program is credited with helping
many farmers make a profit in 2019.

Bill Rogotzke, a corn and soybean grower from Sanborn in southwest Minnesota, says the payments made a big difference.

“Timely cash flow outside of our normal marketing range, and helped pick up some of the repair bills and some of the day-to-day stuff where you’d have to sell some crop to pay some bills.”

He tells Brownfield it’s difficult to say whether more trade aid is coming.
