Paycheck Protection Program

The Paycheck Protection Program offers forgivable loans designed to help small business owners/operators impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic keep their employees on the payroll. These 1% interest rate loans can cover 2.5X costs of farm payroll costs, and do not require a personal guarantee or collateral. PPP loans are forgivable if a portion of the loan is spent on eligible payments like farm payroll.
