American farmers can now start determining how much they will receive in subsidies from the $12 billion aid package President Donald Trump unveiled in early December.

The Department of Agriculture on Dec. 31 announced the next phase of its Farmer Bridge Assistance Program, which will consist of $11 billion in one-time payments. The remaining $1 billion will go toward “specialty crops” and sugar.
