The deadline for farmers and ranchers for the coronavirus food assistance program or CFAP is September 11th.  This program offered from the US Department of Agriculture or USDA along with the Farm Service Agency (FSA) helps provide relief to producers who faced price declines and additional marketing costs due to COVID-19. 

Richard Fordyce who is a Farm Service Agency administrator says that the “FSA offers several options for farmers and ranchers to apply for CFAP, including a call center where employees can answer your questions and help you get started on your application.”

Over 160 commodities are eligible for CFAP, including livestock, dairy, wool, specialty and non-specialty crops, eggs, and many others. For more information online you can visit farmers.gov/cfap. Customers who may be seeking one-on-one support can call 877-508-8364.
