Last week, USDA announced more than $3 billion to provide assistance to commodity and specialty crop producers impacted by natural disaster events in 2022. Eligible impacted producers can apply for financial assistance through the Emergency Relief Program (ERP) 2022. Administered by FSA, the program will help offset the financial impacts of crop yield and value losses from qualifying disasters occurring in 2022. Producers can apply for ERP 2022 starting Oct. 31, 2023. The application deadline has not yet been determined and will be announced at a later date. |
