New Mexico dairy farmer Art Schaap, who lost nearly 4,000 of his cows due to PFAS contamination, is still waiting on a payment from the Agriculture Department under the Dairy Indemnity Payment Program even as he struggles to keep his business afloat.

As more farmers in Maine find out that their land or dairy cows are contaminated with PFAS, the state legislature is considering a bill that would provide compensation and medical monitoring.

The House passed the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2021 364-60 Wednesday evening and agricultural groups are hoping the Senate will act swiftly.
