Republican Sen. Susan Collins and Democratic Rep. Jared Golden are calling on agriculture secretary Sonny Perdue to provide assistance to the Maine’s small growers of apples who are suffering due to the nation's trade disputes and need help from the federal government. They say the billions of dollars in agricultural aid provided by the administration of President Donald Trump has not found its way to Maine's apple farmers.
