“The latest drought package from the White House would focus on the purchase of up to $100 million of pork, $50 million of chicken, and $10 million of both lamb and catfish products for federal food nutrition assistance programs, including food banks. Officials within the agriculture industry said more details, such as the type and quality of meat that will be purchased, along with the amount, needed to be known to determine if the actions will have any measurable impact on producers.”  [Don’t know if it’ll work, but doesn’t personally cost them anything to try…]
