Thank you to those that joined our CFB member call with the Small Business Administration. Dan Nordberg, Director of the Office of Rural Affairs & Regional Administrator at the U.S. Small Business Administration along with Colorado District Director, Frances Padilla provided updates on the most recent changes to the Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loan program.

Dan and Frances are committed to ensuring that farmers, ranchers and rural residents have access to these programs. COVID-19 has hit the industry particularly hard, and it’s important to SBA that these programs are fairly distributed.
