Farmers in Door and Kewaunee counties hampered by losses due to COVID-19 can get more funding through a state program. The Wisconsin Farm Support Program is offering a second round of aid through the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection and the Department of Revenue. The aid effort initially offered $50-million. That provided 12,000 farmers with $3500 each. There was still nearly $8.5-million remaining, which prompted round two. Rich Olson, of Olson Family Farms near Sturgeon Bay, says such funding is welcome, though it can only go so far for some farmers.
Applications for Round Two of the Wisconsin Farm Support Program will be accepted from August 10-24 online here.
