Money for farmers who didn’t have money for corn
The Council of Ministers adopted a resolution according to which, when assessing losses from drought, crops will be separated from livestock. The head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Robert Telus, explained that this is especially important for dairy farmers, as there are many farms that had to buy hay and silage.
It was also decided to pay aid to farmers who sold corn to companies and did not receive money for it, since these companies either declared bankruptcy or went into restructuring. He added that up to 80 percent of the cost of receivables for such grain will be repaid from the budget funds of the State Treasury.
The head of the Ministry of Agriculture also said that the deadline for accepting applications for assistance from companies that purchased wet corn and were forced to invest in its drying has been extended until September 29. He added that the deadline for applying for the Locha+ program has also been extended until September 15.
