Farm Programs During COVID19: Making government programs work for you webinar

St. Cloud, Minn. (10/16/2020)— The I-29 Moo University webinar series continues with a presentation by Minnesota Extension Ag Business Management Specialist, Megan Roberts, on Wednesday, November 4. The webinar will be live from 12 noon to 1 pm and there is no
registration.
This presentation will dive into what we do and don’t know  about COID 19 government programs, including PPP forgiveness application changes, tax considerations, and the upcoming December 11 CFAP 2 deadline.


Covid-19 brought farms many challenges, as well as several new governmental programs to
decipher–from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to the Coronavirus Food Assistance
Program (CFAP 1 and 2) and mandatory Families FIRST Act employee sick leave.
Megan Roberts is a University of Minnesota Extension educator in ag business management. She holds a bachelors and masters from the University of Minnesota and a doctorate from Texas A & M. Megan’s roots in agriculture come from growing up on a dairy farm, and she currently resides on a hog and crop farm in southern Minnesota with her husband and son.
