Florida farmers help feed America, but specialty crop producers are routinely left out of USDA economic aid. Together with @RepKatCammack & our Florida colleagues, I’m urging USDA to ensure our growers get the same access to direct payments and support as row-crop producers.👇

This week, @RepMoolenaar and 33 other lawmakers called on @USDA @SecRollins to include specialty crops in any potential economic aid package. In support of the letter, SCFBA echoed their call: "Any economic aid package designed for agriculture must include specialty crops."
