The U.S. Department of Agriculture has launched the $8 billion Harvest Relief program, offering one-time cash payments to help food producers manage rising operating expenses due to high diesel prices. Ben Martens, director of Maine Coastal Fisherman’s Association, noted that the aid would assist working waterfronts. Diesel costs in Maine reached $6.55 per gallon in September, up almost $3 from a year prior.

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The program is the first federal aid to extend emergency fuel support to fishermen and farmers. However, the aid structure favors row crop producers, who receive fixed payouts and automated applications, while fishermen and specialty crop growers must submit receipts and wait for a share of the fund.
