Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue

Sonny Perdue announced emergency benefit increases have reached $2-billion per month for SNAP households to increase food security during the coronavirus pandemic.

Besides billions of dollars in cash payments to farmers, coronavirus relief will include purchases of “as much” milk and meat as possible for hunger relief.

Americans have already been devoting more time to food preparation, even before restaurants constricted operations and people were advised to stay at home.
