<div dir="auto" style="text-align:start">This second round of assistance is much easier to apply for (compared to CFAP1) and could amount to roughly 10% of your 2019 earnings. That means that if you grossed $125,000 last year on your farm, you could receive
a check from the government for around $12,500. <span><a href="https://www.farmers.gov/cfap" id="LPlnk">https://www.farmers.gov/cfap</a></span></div>
