USDA Delivers Over $2.5 Million in On-Farm Stored Commodity Loss Payments to Disaster-Impacted Farmers

Washington, D.C., April 16, 2026 - The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) is issuing over $2.5 million in payments through the On-Farm Stored Commodity Loss Program (OFSCLP) to producers who suffered losses of eligible harvested commodities stored in on-farm structures in 2023 and/or 2024 due to a qualifying natural disaster event.

"Catastrophic natural disaster events in 2023 and 2024 destroyed harvested commodities stored on the farm, preventing farmers from marketing those commodities and adversely impacting their bottom line," said FSA Administrator Bill Beam. "Through these On-Farm Stored Commodity Loss program payments, USDA is putting Famers First by providing critical economic support that helps sustain America's farming operations and protects our rural economies."

OFSCLP is authorized by the American Relief Act, 2025, and administered by the FSA. The OFSCLP application period closed on Jan. 23, 2026.

Payment Calculations

OFSCLP assistance is calculated using 75% of the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Market Year Average (MYA) Price to establish one national rate per eligible commodity for each year. The NASS MYA Price is multiplied by 75%, meaning the producer absorbs 25% of the loss.

To calculate the OFSCLP payment, FSA multiplies the producer's share of the quantity lost while in storage by the commodity's payment rate. The dollar value of any compensation received by the producer, such as salvage or insurance, is deducted from the calculated payment amount.

A payment factor will not be applied. Producers will receive their full calculated payment, less salvage payment, insurance or other payment received on loss quantity, as applicable.

Additional USDA Supplemental Disaster Assistance

USDA has supported U.S. farmers and ranchers with more than $17.5 billion in supplemental disaster assistance mandated by Congress in the American Relief Act, 2025 including $9.3 billion through the Emergency Commodity Assistance Program, over $1.8 billion through the Emergency Livestock Relief Program and, to date, nearly $6.6 billion in SDRP payments.
