In May, Perdue announced a 16-billion-dollar package of farm aid payments to help offset losses endured by U.S. farmers.
The package followed an earlier 12 billion dollars in aid the Trump administration dispensed last year through the new Market Facilitation Program, which was aimed at compensating for the losses incurred as a result of the trade disputes.
The aid is "only a short-term fix" for a very long-term problem as it fails to provide "predictable, consistent and adequate relief" across the U.S. agriculture, Roger Johnson, president of the National Farmers Union, has said.
"It's never enough. I mean, we can't afford to do everything for everyone ... If you get 20,000 dollars, you know, say from the aid program, it will pay off a little bit. But it still is hurting not to have the trade where it was," Pellett said.
