U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin, Chair of the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee, introduced bipartisan legislation to extend more relief to Wisconsin farmers and small businesses through changes to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
The PPP Flexibility for Farmers, Ranchers, and the Self-Employed Act includes a legislative fix authored by Senator Baldwin that would make critical changes to PPP loan calculations to allow self-employed farmers and ranchers to apply for more generous PPP loans based on their gross income, retroactively.
Under Baldwin’s legislation, any self-employed farmer, even those who already received a PPP loan based on their net income and got it forgiven, could now get a loan for the difference between the gross and the net income loan amounts. This relief to Wisconsin farmers would be extended retroactively to March 27th, 2020.

The legislation, if enacted, would apply to those states who currently participate in DST, which most states observe for eight months out of the year. Standard Time, from November to March, is only observed for four months out of the year. The bill would simply negate the need for Americans to chan
