Letter to USDA and Treasury on Farm Aid

ICBA sent a letter to the Treasury and Agriculture Departments asking them to provide farmers a large aid package and ensure that community banks are treated favorably when they help facilitate farm aid. ICBA noted that community bankers provide nearly 80% of all agricultural loans from the commercial banking sector. ICBA also said it may be necessary to approve additional financial support as large or larger than the economic loss payments provided to the farm sector last year.
