Farmers and Ranchers Can Now Apply for Financial Assistance through USDA’s Coronavirus Food Assistance Program
Applications will be accepted through September 11, 2020. Through CFAP, USDA is making available $16 billion for vital financial assistance to producers of agricultural commodities who have suffered a five-percent-or-greater price decline due to COVID-19 and face additional significant marketing costs as a result of lower demand, surplus production, and disruptions to shipping patterns and the orderly marketing of commodities. The program is structured to ensure the availability of funding for all eligible producers who apply.
Producers can download the CFAP application and other eligibility forms from farmers.gov/cfap or call 877-508-8364 to speak directly with a USDA employee ready to offer assistance. This is a good first step before a producer engages the team at the FSA county office at their local USDA Service Center. USDA Service Centers are open for business by phone appointment only. Pease call your FSA county office Montezuma (970) 565-9045 ext. 2 or Dolores/San Miguel (970) 677-2229 ext. 2 to schedule an appointment.
