Description

The USDAs new twelve billion dollar aid package for farmers impacted by tariffs excludes Kernza, a unique perennial grain from Salina, Kansas. Despite its soil health benefits and growing market presence, Kernza lacks sufficient price data for aid eligibility. While farmers of other crops can apply by December 19th for payments by February 28th, 2026, Kernza growers must rely on other federal assistance programs.
