ORANGE CITY, Iowa — The I-29 Moo University webinar series continues with a presentation by University of Minnesota Extension Ag Business Management Specialist Megan Roberts on Wednesday, Nov. 4. The webinar will be live from 12 noon to 1 p.m. and there is no registration needed.
Roberts’ presentation will dive into what we do and don’t know about this new crop of government programs as we approach the end of 2020, including PPP forgiveness application changes, tax considerations, and the upcoming Dec. 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 & 2) and mandatory Families FIRST Act employee sick leave.
Roberts 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 MN with her husband and son.
No registration is required for this webinar. Producers can log on to the presentation at https://z.umn.edu/I29_government_program_update.
