Signup for the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP 2) is underway and will continue through December 11, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The USDA will use funds being made available from the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) Charter Act and CARES Act to support row crops, livestock, specialty crops, dairy, aquaculture and many additional commodities. USDA has incorporated improvements in CFAP 2 based from stakeholder engagement and public feedback to better meet the needs of impacted farmers and ranchers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Producers can apply for CFAP 2 at USDA\u2019s Farm Service Agency (FSA) county offices. This program provides financial assistance that gives producers the ability to absorb increased marketing costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Producers will be compensated for ongoing market disruptions and assisted with the associated marketing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CFAP 2 payments will be made for three categories of commodities \u2013 Price Trigger Commodities, Flat-rate Crops and Sales Commodities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Price Trigger Commodities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Price trigger commodities are major commodities that meet a minimum 5-percent price decline over a specified period of time. Eligible price trigger crops include barley, corn, sorghum, soybeans, sunflowers, upland cotton, and all classes of wheat. Payments will be based on 2020 planted acres of the crop, excluding prevented planting and experimental acres. Payments for price trigger crops will be the greater of: 1) the eligible acres multiplied by a payment rate of $15 per acre; or 2) the eligible acres multiplied by a nationwide crop marketing percentage, multiplied by a crop-specific payment rate, and then by the producer\u2019s weighted 2020 Actual Production History (APH) approved yield. If the APH is not available, 85 percent of the 2019 Agriculture Risk Coverage-County Option (ARC-CO) benchmark yield for that crop will be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For broilers and eggs, payments will be based on 75 percent of the producers\u2019 2019 production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dairy (cow\u2019s milk) payments will be based on actual milk production from April 1 to Aug. 31, 2020. The milk production for Sept. 1, 2020, to Dec. 31, 2020, will be estimated by FSA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eligible beef cattle, hogs and pigs, and lambs and sheep payments will be based on the maximum owned inventory of eligible livestock, excluding breeding stock, on a date selected by the producer, between Apr. 16, 2020, and Aug. 31, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flat-rate Crops<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crops that either do not meet the 5-percent price decline trigger or do not have data available to calculate a price change will have payments calculated based on eligible 2020 acres multiplied by $15 per acre. These crops include alfalfa, extra long staple (ELS) cotton, oats, peanuts, rice, hemp, millet, mustard, safflower, sesame, triticale, rapeseed, and several others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sales Commodities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sales commodities include specialty crops; aquaculture; nursery crops and floriculture; other commodities not included in the price trigger and flat-rate categories, including tobacco; goat milk; mink (including pelts); mohair; wool; and other livestock (excluding breeding stock) not included under the price trigger category that were grown for food, fiber, fur, or feathers. Payment calculations will use a sales-based approach, where producers are paid based on five payment gradations associated with their 2019 sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional commodities are eligible in CFAP 2 that weren\u2019t eligible in the first iteration of the program. If your agricultural operation has been impacted by the pandemic since April 2020, we encourage you to apply for CFAP 2.

Applicants who are corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships may qualify for additional payment limits when members actively provide personal labor or personal management for the farming operation. In addition, this special payment limitation provision has been expanded to include trusts and estates for both CFAP 1 and 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Producers will also have to certify they meet the Adjusted Gross Income limitation of $900,000 unless at least 75 percent or more of their income is derived from farming, ranching or forestry-related activities. Producers must also be in compliance with Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Applying for Assistance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Producers may now apply for assistance.
