Locals react to White House’s $12B contribution to farmers

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The White House announced that it is funding $12B for the Farmer Bridge Assistance Program, which supports Arkansas, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Texas.

Not among the list was our very own Arizona. Locals are shocked to know that, despite Yuma being such an important agricultural center for the nation, we weren't considered for such a big financial contribution.

Many locals and farmers are hoping that the White House considers our beautiful lettuce town the next time a fund for farmers is approved.
