USDA Details Disaster Program for 2023 and 2024
Secretary Rollins today provided details for the new Supplemental Disaster Relief Program, which will provide assistance for producers who had eligible crop losses due to natural disasters in 2023 and 2024. The program was authorized by Congress through the American Relief Act, which passed in December.
"USDA continues to make producers and implementation of disaster assistance a priority," said Illinois farmer and National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) President Kenneth Hartman Jr. "Corn growers across the country appreciate the streamlined process and attention given to quickly disbursing the disaster assistance."
The Farm Service Agency mailed pre-filled applications to producers today, and starting Thursday, July 10, producers can also apply for assistance through their FSA office.
While a payment factor of 35% will be applied to all stage one payments, if additional funds remain, FSA may issue a second payment.
