U.S. farmers have been devastated by erratic weather patterns and an ongoing trade war with China, one of the largest U.S. agriculture importers in the world. The federal government is putting together an aid program to help farmers. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue announced Thursday details of the $16 billion package aimed at supporting American agricultural producers while President Donald Trump’s administration continues to negotiate.
