Kansas farmers receive more than $1.18 billion in pandemic payments


Aug 31, 2021 to Sep 02, 2021
Kansas farmers and livestock producers faced plenty of challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately, the U.S. government provided financial relief in the form of two rounds of Coronavirus Food Assistance Program payments through the USDA, and payments from the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program, totaling $1.18 billion.
According to the July 19 AgManager weekly update from Kansas State University’s Department of Agricultural Economics, Jennifer Ifft, associate professor and K-State Extension specialist in agricultural policy, and Anil Giri, research agricultural economist with the USDA Economic Research Service, crunched the numbers.
For reference, the total government payments in 2019 to Kansas farmers, including 2018 Farm Bill programs and the Market Facilitation Program was $1.4 billion. Combined payments from CFAP 1 and CFAP 2, as well as forgiven PPP loans, is about 84% of those 2019 government payments, according to Ifft and Giri. Those combined payments are also about 7.4% of the $16.3 billion total agricultural cash receipts received by Kansas producers in 2019.
