Farmers and ranchers across the nation continue to face market disruptions and associated costs due to COVID-19. That’s why USDA is offering direct assistance through the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) 2.

Farm Service Agency (FSA) is now accepting applications for CFAP 2. This program will help certain row crop, livestock, dairy, and specialty crop growers offset the impacts of the pandemic.

Our website, farmers.gov cfap is your one-stop-shop to find eligible commodities, payment rates, eligibility criteria, and options to apply, including applying online.

Interested producers can call FSA’s Call Center at 877-508-8364 where USDA staff can answer your questions and help complete your application.

Applications for CFAP 2 will be accepted through December 11th. Call 877-508- 8364 or contact your local FSA county office.
