Arkansas receives $75M in government poultry loans

The U.S. Senate approved $75M in emergency loans to Arkansas poultry producers as part of the American Workers, State and Business Relief Act, according to the Arkansas News Bureau.
Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., who heads the Senate Agriculture Committee, said the relief could boost a “hurting” state industry affected by the bankruptcy of Pilgrim’s Pride.
