There is a precedent for this type

Seeking Help From Capitol Hill

Carroll Smith

"There is a precedent for this type of direct payment," he says. "It has been implemented in the past to confront disasters. It is the most timely way to get money out to the farmers and requires no county office work because everyone knows what their eligible direct payments are."

The payments would go to farmers and farms in counties/parishes that have been declared disasters by the Secretary of Agriculture.

"Our take-home message is that we would like for farmers with program crops to qualify for an additional direct payment and for farmers who produce non-program crops to receive ad hoc disaster assistance, too," Morgan says.
