The Nebraska Farm Bureau has received inquiries from members about the status and distribution of the Small Business Stabilization Grants for Livestock Producers issued through the Nebraska Department of Economic Development. Below is information provided to Nebraska Farm Bureau by the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (Monday, Aug. 10) regarding a recent change in the distribution of grants under the program.
“Due to an extremely high error rate with the banking information supplied by many grantees applying for the livestock producer stabilization grants, the Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) will be distributing the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) grants in a state warrant (check) to the mailing address provided on the application form. We apologize for this alteration in the distribution method. Grantees should begin to see payments arriving in the next few weeks. Thank you for your patience.”
