Producers will begin receiving applications for the Emergency Relief Program in the coming days.
Farm Service Agency Administrator Zach Ducheneaux tells Brownfield the agency began mailing the more than 300,000 pre-filled applications this week.
“The much-anticipated program has been touted as a new way of doing things by the agency and we’re happy to announce letters are going out to producers now that will have the information we already have on file to help them determine whether or not they’re eligible for payment under ERP,” he says.
