Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue told reporters at the United Fresh trade show in Chicago Tuesday that he hopes to have a plan for shielding farmers from tariff-related losses in place before the fall harvest. He later clarified his position in an interview with the Chicago Tribune, saying he's "probably" going to stick with a Labor Day deadline for making decisions on farm aid. He acknowledged that all parties involved would like to see some sort of resolution by July 7, the day after the U.S. and China will implement new rounds of tariffs.
