霍文称北达科他州农户本月将获约 7.21 亿美元农业补贴
据美国农业网 10 月 8 日报道，联邦参议员约翰·霍文（John Hoeven）表示，北达科他州农户本月将收到约 7.21 亿美元的 ARC 与 PLC 农业项目补贴。霍文在本周的一场农业圆桌会上宣布了这一消息。
农业风险保障（ARC）与价格损失保障（PLC）是联邦农业法案的主要安全网工具，当作物收入或价格跌破设定基准时触发赔付。今年农产品价格承压，这笔补贴预计将为北达科他州的小麦、玉米和大豆种植户带来显著的财务缓解。
作为参议院农业委员会资深成员，霍文表示他还在推动新农业法案，以强化安全网并更新参考价格。农业团体数月来一直在游说国会，现有农业法案延期即将到期。
北达科他州农业官员对消息表示欢迎，指出尽管农产品价格走软，投入成本依然高企。补贴预计将于 10 月陆续发放到农户手中。

Hoeven: North Dakota Farmers to Receive About $721 Million in ARC/PLC Payments This Month
U.S. Senator John Hoeven said North Dakota farmers will receive about $721 million in ARC and PLC farm program payments this month, according to an American Ag Network report on October 8. Hoeven made the announcement during a farm roundtable this week, telling producers the payments are on their way.
The Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs are the federal farm bill's main safety-net tools, triggering payments when crop revenues or prices fall below set benchmarks. With commodity prices under pressure this year, the payments are expected to provide significant relief to North Dakota wheat, corn, and soybean growers.
Hoeven, a senior member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, said he is also pushing for a new farm bill that would strengthen the safety net and update reference prices. Farm groups have been lobbying Congress for months as the current farm bill extension nears its end.
North Dakota agriculture officials welcomed the news, noting that input costs remain high even as crop prices have softened. The payments are expected to begin flowing to producers in October.
