5 USA 10.051 Commodity Loans and Loan Deficiency Payments Marketing Assistance Loans (MALs) and Loan Deficiency Payments (LDPs) FARM SERVICE AGENCY, AGRICULTURE, DEPARTMENT OF Public Law 115-334 To improve and stabilize farm income, to assist in bringing about a better balance between supply and demand of the commodities, and to assist farmers in the orderly marketing of their crops. Marketing assistance loans provide producers interim financing at harvest time to meet cash flow needs without having to sell their commodities when market prices are typically at harvest-time lows. Allowing producers to store production at harvest facilitates more orderly marketing of commodities throughout the year. Market loan repayment provisions specify, under certain circumstances, that producers may repay loans at less than principal plus accrued interest and other charges. Alternatively, loan deficiency payment (LDP) provisions specify that, in lieu of securing a loan, producers may be eligible for an LDP. Both programs allow a producer flexibly to market commodities while providing cashflow. DIRECT PAYMENTS WITH UNRESTRICTED USE;DIRECT LOANS Commodity loans and loan deficiency payments (LDP's) give farmers a means of promoting more orderly marketing. Loans to producers may be "nonrecourse" which means that producers have the option of forfeiting the collateral to CCC at loan maturity in full satisfaction of the loan obligation; or "recourse" for low quality grain, or non-ginned seed cotton, which means that producers must repay the loans by maturity." If market prices are above the support level, producers may repay their loans at the original loan principal plus interest and market their commodities. When market prices are low, most nonrecourse commodity loan repayments are less than the original loan principal plus interest. Eligible commodities for loans are produced and harvested wheat, corn, grain sorghum, oats, barley, rice, peanuts, upland cotton, extra-long staple cotton, soybeans, crambe, canola, flaxseed, mustard seed, rapeseed, safflower, sunflower seed, sesame seed, dry peas, lentils, small and large chickpeas, graded and ungraded wool, honey, and sugar. LDP's are offered for produced and harvested wheat, corn, grain sorghum, oats, barley, upland cotton, rice, soybeans, crambe, canola, flaxseed, mustard seed, rapeseed, safflower, sunflower seed, sesame seed, peanuts, dry peas, lentils, small and large chickpeas, graded and ungraded wool, unshorn pelts, honey, hay, and silage. If the loan repayment rates for these commodities are less than the established loan levels, producers may, for most commodities that are eligible for a nonrecourse loan, agree to forego such loan and elect to receive an LDP. The LDP payment rate equals the amount by which the loan rate exceeds the loan repayment rate in effect at the time the LDP application is approved, or the delivery date, or date sold or date beneficial interest is lost, as applicable. The 2016 Consolidated Appropriations Act authorized producers the option of a commodity certificate exchange as a nonrecourse loan repayment mechanism. In situations when the loan rate exceeds the exchange rate, p… Owner, landlord, tenant, or sharecropper on an eligible farm that has produced the eligible commodities or, in the case of sugar, a processor or refiner who meets program requirements as announced by the Secretary. Beneficiary eligibility is the same as applicant eligibility.\nOwner, landlord, tenant, or sharecropper on a farm that has produced the eligible commodities, meets program requirements as announced by the Secretary, and maintains beneficial interest in the commodity. State and County governments may be eligible for MAL's and LDP's when they have a share in produced and harvested eligible commodities on land they own, if the benefits or payments are used to support public schools. The commodity must be produced and harvested by the producer, and the producer must meet program requirements as announced by the Secretary.

2265 USA 10.089 Livestock Forage Disaster Program LFP FARM SERVICE AGENCY, AGRICULTURE, DEPARTMENT OF Public Law 110-246 The objective of LFP is to provide financial assistance from the Agricultural Disaster Relief Trust Fund (Trust Fund). The Secretary of Agriculture (henceforth the Secretary) has the authority to use sums from the Trust Fund to provide compensation to livestock producers who suffered grazing losses due to drought or fire. For drought, the losses must have occurred because of a qualifying drought during the normal grazing period for the county on land that is native or improved pastureland with permanent vegetative cover or is planted to a crop planted specifically for grazing covered livestock. For fire, LFP provides payments to eligible livestock producers that have suffered grazing losses on range land managed by a Federal agency if the eligible livestock producer is prohibited by the Federal agency from grazing the normal permitted livestock on the managed range land because of a qualifying fire. Eligible grazing losses must have occurred on or after January 1, 2008, and before October 1, 2011. The eligible grazing losses must occur within the same calendar year for which benefits are being requested.\n\nATRA provides extending benefits to livestock producers for grazing losses due to drought and wildfires on Federal lands through September 30, 2013, subject to appropriations. DIRECT PAYMENTS FOR SPECIFIED USE The assistance can be used to provide financial assistance for grazing losses due to drought equal to one, two, or three times the monthly payment rate to eligible livestock producers if the eligible livestock producer owns or leases a grazing land or pastureland that is physically located in a county that is rated by the U.S. drought Monitor as D2 Drought (severe drought) for at least eight consecutive weeks, D3 (extreme drought) at any time or for four weeks (not necessarily four consecutive weeks), or a D4 (exceptional drought at anytime) during the normal grazing period for the specific type of grazing land or pastureland for the county.\r\nATRA provides extending benefits to livestock producers for grazing losses due to drought and wildfires on Federal lands through September 30, 2013, subject to appropriations.

Assistance is provided from the Agricultural Disaster Relief Trust Fund (Trust Fund) established under Public Law 110-246. The Secretary of Agriculture (henceforth the Secretary) has the authority to use the Trust Fund to make crop disaster assistance payments to eligible producers on farms in disaster counties whose actual production is less than 50 percent of their normal production. A disaster county means a county included in the geographic area covered by a qualifying natural disaster declaration by the Secretary. SURE is the 2008 Farm Bill's successor to the prior Crop Disaster Programs. SURE is legislated through fiscal year 2011. DIRECT PAYMENTS FOR SPECIFIED USE SURE assistance can provide benefit payments to eligible producers who have suffered eligible crop losses due to a natural disaster. To be eligible for crop loss assistance, a producer must show that the actual production on the farm for at least one crop of economic significance is reduced for at least 10 percent due to disaster, adverse weather, or disaster-related conditions. Payment limitations apply for SURE. For 2008, no person may receive more than $100,000 total for the 2008 program year under the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm Raised Fish Program (ELAP), Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP), Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP), and SURE. For 2009 and subsequent program years, no person or legal entity, excluding joint ventures and general partnerships my receive, directly or indirectly, more than $100,000 total per program year under ELAP, LFP, LIP and SURE. Producers or legal entities whose average adjusted gross income (AGI) exceeds $2.5 million in crop year 2008 shall not be eligible for benefit payments unless 75 percent or more of the income is from agriculture. For 2009 and subsequent years, the average AGI income cap changes to $500,000 of non-farm income, with no on-farm income cap. SURE assistance will be provided to an eligible producer in the amount equal to 60 percent of the difference between the SURE Guarantee and the total farm revenue. The SURE guarantee for the farm cannot be greater than 90 percent of the total of the normal production of the farm. There are specific eligibility criteria a producer must meet before becoming eligible for assistance. To be eligible, a producer (for all of the farming operation's crops that are planted or intended nationwide) must have obtained a policy or plan of crop insurance such as Catastrophic Risk Protection (CAT) for all insurable crops and/or Non-insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program(NAP) coverage for non-insurable crops that are of economic significance.

2266 USA 10.091 Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP) FARM SERVICE AGENCY, AGRICULTURE, DEPARTMENT OF The Trade Act of 1974, Public Law 19-2497, 19 US Code 2010\n\nThe American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, Public Law 112-240, 7 US Code 702 The objective of ELAP is to provide emergency assistance to eligible producers of livestock, honeybees, and farm-raised fish who have losses due to disease, adverse weather, or other conditions, including losses due to blizzards and wildfires, as determined by the Secretary of Agriculture (Secretary). Assistance is provided from the Trust Fund established under Public Law 110-246. ELAP assistance is for losses not covered under other Supplemental Agricultural Disaster Assistance Payment programs specifically Livestock Forage Program (LFP), Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP), and the Supplemental Assistance Program (SURE). ELAP is authorized for fiscal years 2008 through September 30, 2011. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended authority for ELAP under the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill) for the 2012 and 2013 fiscal years. However, for 2012 and 2013 fiscal years funding has not been appropriated for ELAP. DIRECT PAYMENTS FOR SPECIFIED USE ELAP covers losses occurring on or after January 1, 2008 and before October 1, 2011. Public Law 110-246, Sections 12033 and 15101, authorized the Secretary to provide payments to producers of livestock, honeybees, and farm-raised fish to aid in the reduction of losses due to disease, adverse weather, or other conditions such as blizzards and wildfires. ELAP also covers some species, loss conditions, and losses that are not eligible for other disaster assistance programs, including colony collapse disorder and wildfires on non-Federal land.The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended authority for ELAP under the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill) for the 2012 and 2013 fiscal years. However, for 2012 and 2013 fiscal years funding has not been appropriated for ELAP. Assistance will be granted only to eligible livestock, honeybee, and farm-raised producers. ELAP benefits, compensation, or relief will be strictly used to compensate eligible losses. For program year 2008, no person may receive more than $100,000 total in payments under ELAP, LFP, LIP, SURE, combined. For 2009 and subsequent program years, no person or legal entity may receive directly or indirectly, more than $100,000 total in payments under ELAP, LFP, LIP, and SURE combined.\r\n\r\n; To be considered an eligible applicant, the participant must be a producer or contract grower of livestock, honeybee, or farm-raised fish that assumes the production and market risks associated with the agricultural production of crops or livestock on a farm and that meet the requirements to receive ELAP payments. \r\n Eligible producers of livestock, honeybees, and farm-raised fish will receive the ultimate benefits from ELAP. An eligible producer of livestock must have owned, cash-leased, purchased, entered into a contract to purchase, or been a contract grower of eligible livestock during the 60 days prior to the beginning date of the eligible adverse weather or eligible loss condition. To be considered an eligible honeybee producer, a participant must have an interest and risk in the eligible honeybee colony, for the purpose of producing honey or pollination for commercial use as part of a farming operation. To be considered an eligible farm-raised fish producer the participant must have produced eligible farm-raised fish, with the intent to harvest for commercial use as part of a farming operation. Risk Management Purchase Requirement (RMPR). For every commodity on every farm in which the producer has an interest for the relevant program year, the producer must obtain catastrophic coverage (CAT) or better under a policy or plan of insurance administered under the Federal Crop Insurance Act (FCIA). In the case of non-insurable commodity, the producer must obtain the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) coverage by filing the required paperwork and paying the administrative fee by the applicable state application closing date, except this requirement will not include forage on grazing land. Due to the lateness of P.L. 110-246, producers were allowed to "buy-in" to the ELAP for 2008 by paying fees equivalent to the NAP service fee or CAT fee by September 16,2008. If a producer who is otherwise ineligible because of the purchase requirement and did not meet the buy-in deadline of September 16, 2008, still may be eligible for ELAP if the producer paid the applicable fee no later than May 18, 2009. \r\nFor 2009, the RMPR was waived for insurable crops where sales closing dates for crop insurance coverage occurred before August 14, 2008, if the buy-in fee was paid by January 12, 2009.\nThis program is excluded from coverage under 2 CFR 200, Subpart E - Cost Principles. Preapplication coordination is required. Environmental impact information is not required for this program. This program is excluded from coverage under E.O. 12372. Producers are required to obtain CAT or NAP coverage prior to applying for ELAP benefits. This program is excluded from coverage under 2 CFR 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. To apply for ELAP, the participant that suffered eligible livestock, honeybee, or farm-raised fish losses must submit to the FSA administrative county office that maintains the participant's farm records the following: 1. A Notice of Loss for calendar years 2008 and 2009 must be provided no later than May 5, 2010 and for subsequent year losses, the producer must provide a notice of loss to FSA the earlier of 30 calendar days of when the loss is apparent to the producer or 30 calendar days after the end of the calendar year in which the loss occurred.\r\n2. A complete application for payment no later than May 5, 2010 for calendar years 2008 and 2009 and for subsequent crop years, January 30, after the year in which the loss occurred. Livestock payment calculations will be based on losses for no more than 90 days during the calendar year. ELAP payments for feed losses will be based on 60 percent of the producers actual cost for livestock feed, that was purchased or mechanically harvested for forage or feedstuffs; the additional cost incurred for providing or transporting livestock feed or to purchase additional livestock feed above normal to maintain the eligible livestock due to an eligible adverse weather or eligible loss condition. Grazing losses will be calculated based on 60 percent of the lesser of the total value of the feed cost for all covered livestock based on the number of days grazing was lost, not to exceed 90 days of daily feed cost for all covered livestock or the total value of grazing lost for all eligible livestock based on the normal carrying capacity of the eligible grazing land. Livestock death losses will be calculated by multiplying the national payment rate for each livestock category times the number of eligible livestock that died in each category as a result of an eligible loss condition in excess of normal mortality. ELAP payments for honeybee losses will be based on 60 percent of the actual cost of honeybee feed that was damaged or destroyed and intended as feed for an eligible honeybee colony. Payments for honeybee colony losses will be based on 60 percent of the average fair market value of the honey bee colonies in the year in which the loss occurred times the number of honey bee colonies that were damaged or destroyed. Payments for honeybee hive losses will be based on 60 percent of the average fair market value of the honey bee hives in the year in which the loss occurred, times the number of honey bee hives that were damaged or destroyed due to an eligible adverse weather or eligible loss condition. ELAP payments for eligible farm-raised fish feed losses are based on 60 percent of the actual cost of purchased or harvested feed that was intended as feed for eligible farm-raised fish and was damaged becau… Contact the headquarters or regional location, as appropriate for application deadlines Not Applicable http://www.fsa.gov This program has no statutory formula. \nMatching requirements are not applicable to this assistance listing. \nMOE requirements are not applicable to this assistance listing. \n There are no restrictions place on the time permitted to spend the money awarded.

15 USA 10.098 Reimbursement Transportation Cost Payment Program for Geographically Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers RTCP FARM SERVICE AGENCY, AGRICULTURE, DEPARTMENT OF 7 US Code 8792 The intended goal of the program is to provide direct reimbursement payments to a geographically disadvantaged farmer or rancher who transports an agricultural commodity, or inputs used to produce an agricultural commodity during a fiscal year. Input transportation cost are transportation costs of inputs used to produce an agricultural commodity including, but not limited to, air, ocean, and land freight of chemicals, feed, fertilizer, fuel, seeds, plants, supplies, equipment parts, and other inputs.\n\nThe Farm Service Agency (FSA), Deputy Administrator for Farm Programs (DAFP) administers RTCP. The program will be carried out in the field by FSA State and county committee and FSA employees. State and local governments and their political subdivisions and related agencies are not eligible for RTCP payments. DIRECT PAYMENTS WITH UNRESTRICTED USE RTCP provides monetary assistance to geographically disadvantaged farmers and ranchers by reimbursing them for a portion of the transportation cost of their agricultural commodity, or transported inputs used to produce an agricultural commodity during the fiscal year. The payments provided by RTCP are intended to offset a portion of the high cost of transporting inputs for production purposes and transporting products to markets.\r\n\r\nThe types of transportation rates used to determine reimbursable amounts are:\r\n(1) Actual transportation rates which are based on the actual costs incurred by the applicant and must be determined in all cases from verifiable records.\r\n(2) Fixed transportation rates are determined by FSA and will establish per unit transportation costs for each eligible commodity or input used to produce the eligible commodity.\r\n(3) Set transportation rates are established for those transportation costs that are not on the FSA list of fixed rates and for which a actual rate cannot be documented. They will be set by FSA based on available data of transportation costs similar commodities and inputs. To be eligible to receive program benefits, a geographically disadvantaged farmer or rancher must:\n(1) Be a producer of an eligible agricultural commodity in substantial commercial quantities\n(2) Incur transportation costs for the transportation of the agricultural commodity or input used to produce the agriculture commodity\n(3) Submit an application for payment during the specified period applicable for each fiscal year.\n(4) Be in compliance with conservation and wetland protection requirements on all their land\n(5) Be a citizen of or legal resident alien of the U.S.\n\nEligible commodities include any agricultural commodity (including horticulture, aquaculture, and floriculture) food, feed, fiber, livestock (including elk, reindeer, bison, horses, and deer), insects or products thereof. The U.S. farmers and ranchers outside the continental U.S. \n (the 48 contiguous U.S.) receive the ultimate benefit from the program because they operate at a competitive disadvantage relative to farmers and ranchers in the continental U.S. This disadvantage is due to the high cost of transporting agricultural commodities from those areas to markets in the continental U.S. and in other countries, and the high cost of transporting agricultural inputs to those areas.\n\nGeographically disadvantage farmers and ranchers located in Hawaii, Alaska, or an insular area such as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the Virgin Islands of the U.S. are the primary beneficiaries. To be eligible for RTCP, a producer must be a farmer or rancher in an insular area, Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands. The disadvantaged farmer or rancher must produce an eligible agricultural commodity, incur transportation cost for the transportation of the agricultural commodity or input used to produce the agricultural commodity. The producer must also meet adjusted gross income and pay limit eligibility requirements up to an $8,000 per producer payment cap and be in compliance with wetland and highly erodible land requirements. A higher payment cap may be determined if claims for payments do not exceed available funding. The producer must also submit an accurate and complete application FSA-218 by the application deadline for the applicable Fiscal Year. CCC-770 Eligibility must be completed for each producer before RTCP is approved. \n\nEach producer requesting payment must certify to the accuracy and truthfulness of the information in their application and any supporting documentation. Producers who submit actual costs for reimbursement at the actual cost rate, must provide verifiable records. Failure or refusal to allow FSA to verify the information provided will result in a denial of eligibility. Furnishing the information is voluntary; however, without it program benefits will not be approved.\nThis program is excluded from coverage under 2 CFR 200, Subpart E - Cost Principles.

This program is excluded from coverage under 2 CFR 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. Eligibility reimbursement amount will be calculated by multiplying the number of units of the reported transportation amount times the applicable transportation fixed, set, or actual rate times the applicable non-foreign area cost of living allowance or post differential (COLA). Jul 01, 2025 to Sep 30, 2025 FSA County Offices should load additional receipts, record producer signatures, and COC determinations for applications no later than November 28, 2025 (extended to January 15, 2026 due to Government Shutdown). http://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/price-support/RTCP-Program/index Statutory Formula: Title 7, Part 755, Subpart D,Public Law 110-246.Current legislation PL 119-37Matching requirements are not applicable to this assistance listing. \nMOE requirements are not applicable to this assistance listing. \n The County FSA Office reviews the transportation costs on form FSA-218 applications and are recorded into the new RTCP application software in real time and the County Office Committee determination is recorded as soon as practicable after the application is approved or disapproved. All data entered into the FSA-218 must be reviewed and verified by a second person to ensure data accuracy before STC, COC, or designee approves or disapproves FSA-218. Payments are entered in the RTCP software application by a date determined by FSA. Funds available for the program through NPS upon notification from the National Office. Payments are issued via direct deposit or check (if direct deposit is waived). There are no restrictions placed on the time permitted to spend the money awarded. Method of awarding/releasing assistance: lump sum No reports are required. This program is excluded from coverage under 2 CFR 200, Subpart F - Audit Requirements. Persons applying for RTCP payments must maintain records and accounts to document all eligibility requirements for three years after the date of payment to the producer. (Direct Payment for Specified Use) FY 24$3,900,000.00; FY 25$3,490,558.00; FY 26 est $7,182,735.00; - Applicants are subject to a maximum payment limitation of $8,000 per producer. However, if the total claims do not exceed the available funding, a higher payment cap may be considered. The appellant must submit a written request asking the next level reviewing authority within FSA to review a decision. The appeal regulations are specified in 7CFR parts 11 and 780 apply to determinations for RTCP. Not Applicable Fiscal Year 2024: RTCP benefits are calculated based on the transportation costs incurred by producers during the fiscal year. Due to an increase in funding, RTCP was able to raise the payment cap from $8,000 to $11,200 per producer. This enhancement allowed for greater financial support for producers, helping them to better offset their transportation costs and easing the financial burden associated with transporting agricultural commodities or inputs over long distances. However, if the total claims do not exceed the available funding, a higher payment cap may be considered.\n\nEnrollment for RTCP for FY 2024 commenced on July 8, 2024, and concluded on September 30, 2024. A significant achievement for RTCP this fiscal year was the development and implementation of a new software that automated the application process. This innovation replaced the previous lengthy manual process, streamlining operations and reducing the time and effort required from both applicants and administrators.\n\nAdditionally, RTCP successfully expedited the timeline for processing payments to producers. As a results, payments are now being processed months earlier than in previous years. This improvement ensures that geographically disadvantaged farmers and ranchers receive their reimbursements more promptly, contributing to better cash flow management for their operations.\n\nThese accomplishments reflect the program’s commitment to supporting geographically disadvantage farmers and ranchers, enhancing operational efficiency, and providing more substantial financial assistance.. Fiscal Year 2025: FY2025 payments have not yet been distributed; however, there have been 1289 applications received, totaling $2,342,728 (capped payments)..   See Regional Assistance Locations.

25 USA 10.113 Agriculture Risk Coverage Program ARC FARM SERVICE AGENCY, AGRICULTURE, DEPARTMENT OF 7 US Code 9017 The ARC program carried over from the 2014 Farm Bill. DIRECT PAYMENTS FOR SPECIFIED USE The Agricultural Risk Coverage-County Coverage (ARC-CO) provides income support through revenue loss coverage at the county level for selected covered commodities on a farm. The Agricultural Risk Coverage-Individual Coverage program provides income support through revenue loss coverage at the farm level for all acreage devoted to covered commodities across all of a producer's ARC-IC farms.\n\nARC income support through a revenue-based program designed to cover a portion of a farmer's out-of-pocket loss (referred to as "shallow loss") when crop revenues fall below benchmark revenue levels, with the benchmark revenue based on either county level historic revenue for ARC-CO or the individual farm's historic revenue for ARC-IC. Not Applicable ARC provides payments to eligible producers on farms enrolled for the 2019 through 2024 crop years. It is understood and agreed that producers on a farm may participate in the program only by enrolling in a contract that is consistent with the election previously made for the farm and covered commodities of that farm. Election is not enrollment and the election that applies to a farm and the covered commodities of a farm applies without regard to whether or not producers choose to enroll the farm or not.

26 USA 10.114 Cotton Transition Assistance Program (CTAP) FARM SERVICE AGENCY, AGRICULTURE, DEPARTMENT OF The Agricultural Act of 2014, Public Law 113-79 CTAP is a temporary program that provides payments to producers on farms for which cotton base acres were in existence as of September 30, 2013. DIRECT PAYMENTS WITH UNRESTRICTED USE CTAP is intended to be a transition for producers on farms with upland cotton base acres that were in existence as of September 30, 2013, between the previous Direct and Counter-Cycle Program (DCP) payments and the new Stacked Income Protection Plan (STAX) which is scheduled to be made available to most cotton counties in 2015 crop year. CTAP is authorized for all counties and farms having cotton base acres in the 2014 crop year; however, it will only operate in the 2015 crop year in counties where STAX is not yet available. STAX is specified in Section 11017 of P.L. 113-79. Similar to DCP, producers do not have to actually grow or harvest upland cotton to be eligible for CTAP.\n\nCTAP payments will be made to eligible producers on or after October 1 of the crop year when upland cotton is or ordinarily would have been harvested. Similar to DCP, payment eligibility is based upon the number of upland cotton base acres, which are not required to be planted to cotton. An eligible producer for CTAP is required to be a person or legal entity who is actively engaged in farming and otherwise eligible to receive payment. CTAP payments in each of the 2014 and 2015 program years are limited to $40,000 per person or legal entity, similar to the $40,000 per person or legal entity limitation to applied to DCP under The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, P.L. 110-246. A person or legal entity is ineligible for payments if the person's or legal entity's average gross income (AGI) for the applicable compliance program year is in excess of $900,000. If a person with an indirect interest in a legal entity has AGI in excess of $900,000, the CTAP payments subject to AGI compliance provisions to the legal entity will be reduced as calculated based on the percent interest of the person in the legal entity receiving the payment. The Farm Service Agency (FSA) will provide adequate notice to producer about the new CTAP regulations so they will be ready to begin sign-up for CTAP. Payments will process as soon as possible after October 1, 2014, as soon as the application period closes. Therefore, to begin providing benefits to producers in a timely fashion, the final rule is effective when published in the Federal Register. An eligible producer on a farm is required to provide a copy of their written lease to the county committee and, in the absence of a written lease, is required to provide the county committee a complete written description of the terms and conditions of any oral agreement or lease.\nThis program is excluded from coverage under 2 CFR 200, Subpart E - Cost Principles.

This program is excluded from coverage under 2 CFR 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. Eligible producers may apply for CTAP by completing CCC-957 application and providing supportive and necessary contractual documents to the FSA county office. For 2014 CTAP applications must be submitted by September 30, 2014 and for 2015 CTAP, by July 31, 2015. Eligible producers receive their 2014 CTAP payments after October 1, 2014 after the end of the application period. Eligible producers receive their 2015 CTAP payments after October 1, 2015 after the end of the application period.\r\n\r\n Contact the headquarters or regional location, as appropriate for application deadlines Each eligible producer on a farm may apply for and receive CTAP payments determined to be fair and equitable as agreed to by all producers on the farm and as approved by the county committee. CTAP payments will be determined based on shares recorded on the application for CTAP payments for the particular program year. http://www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA/newsReleases?area=newsroom&subject=landing&topic=pfs&newstype=prfactsheet&type=detail&item=pf_20150706_insup_en_ctap.html Statutory Formula: Title 7 CFR, Part E,Public Law 113-79.Matching requirements are not applicable to this assistance listing. \nMOE requirements are not applicable to this assistance listing. \n There are no restrictions placed on the time permitted to spend the money awarded.

28 USA 10.116 The Margin Protection Program MPP-Dairy FARM SERVICE AGENCY, AGRICULTURE, DEPARTMENT OF 7 US Code 9051 MPP-Dairy offers a protection plan which provides payments to dairy operations when the difference between the all-milk price and the average feed cost falls below a certain, producer selected, dollar amount. Producers will be eligible for a basic level of margin protection for a small administrative fee, and be able to purchase greater coverage for a premium. The Secretary of Agriculture (Secretary) will use administrative fees collected to cover administrative costs incurred to carry out the margin protection program. Not renewed with Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018; see Dairy Margin Coverage (Assistance Listing 10.127). DIRECT PAYMENTS FOR SPECIFIED USE Milk is produced in all 50 states and the maintenance and expansion of existing markets for dairy are vital to the welfare of milk producers in the United States (U.S.). The dairy industry has experienced dramatic structural changes at all levels of the marketing channel that have directly affected milk prices, dairy product sales, farm incomes, and other direct aspects of dairy profitability and volatility. Low margins have been a producer complaint for some time. In addition, low prices, high production costs, and oversupply have been issues for the dairy industry in recent years. In order to address these concerns, MPP-Dairy was included in P.L. 113-79 to replace existing dairy price and income support programs. The MPP-Dairy program is much like an insurance program in that the dairy operation selects a level of coverage, and pays a premium based on the amount of coverage (and an administrative fee). As is customary with other insurance or insurance-like programs both agricultural and otherwise, the regulations only provide for coverage prospectively and contemplated that a party's level of coverage will remain unchanged unless during a designated enrollment period the party makes a different election. The amount of coverage chosen by producers in a participating dairy operation requires two selections. One is the margin trigger and the second is the amount of milk covered (which is based on a history of production).; All dairy operations in the U.S. shall be eligible to participate in the MPP-Dairy program to receive margin protection payments. A dairy operation must produce milk from cows in the U.S. and must be commercially marketing milk produced at the time of enrollment and continue to market milk for the duration of the program. A dairy operation may participate in the MPP-Dairy program or the Livestock Gross Margin for Dairy (LGM-Dairy) but not both. LGM-Dairy is operated by the Risk Management Agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). However since the MPP-Dairy program is made available after potential applicants under MPP-Dairy have applied for coverage under LGM-Dairy, for the open enrollment period established for the 2014 and 2015 calendar year coverage only, a producer with coverage under LGM-Diary that would like to participate in the MPP-Dairy program must register to participate in the MPP-Dairy program during the open enrollment period established for calendar 2014 and 2015 and agree not to extend or obtain new LGM-Dairy coverage. Beneficiary eligibility is the same as applicant eligibility.\nThe ultimate benefit of the MPP-Dairy program will help protect farm equity and reduce financial losses that occur during times of low margins. To participate in the MPP-Dairy program, an eligible dairy operation must have a production history determined for the dairy operation; register to participate during a signup announced by the Farm Service Agency (FSA); pay a $100.00 administrative fee annually for the duration of the MPP-Dairy program. For 2018 coverage year only, a limited resources, beginning, veteran, or socially disadvantaged farmer or rancher, shall be exempt from the administrative fee; select a coverage level ranging from $4.00 to $8.00 per cwt, in $.50 increments; and select a coverage percentage of dairy operation's production history ranging from 25 percent to 90 percent, in 5 percent increments. For an existing diary operation FSA will determine the production history from the highest of the 2011, 2012, and 2013 calendar years. For a new dairy operation (in operation for less than one year), FSA will determine the production history by either the volume of the actual milk marketings for the months the participating diary operation has been in operation extrapolated to a yearly amount or an estimate of the actual milk marketing of the participating dairy operation based on the herd size of the participating dairy operation relative to the national rolling here average data published by USDA.\nThis program is excluded from coverage under 2 CFR 200, Subpart E - Cost Principles. Preapplication coordination is not applicable. Environmental impact information is not required for this program. This program is excluded from coverage under E.O. 12372. This program is excluded from coverage under 2 CFR 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards.

3096 USA 10.127 Dairy Margin Coverage DMC FARM SERVICE AGENCY, AGRICULTURE, DEPARTMENT OF 7 US Code 9051 et seq. DMC offers a dairy margin protection plan which provides payments to dairy operations when the difference between the all-milk price and the average feed cost fall below a certain, producer selected, dollar amount. Producers will be eligible for a basic level of margin protection for a small administrative fee and be able to purchase higher coverage with a premium fee. The Secretary of Agriculture (Secretary) will use administrative fees collected to cover administrative costs incurred to carry out the DMC program. INDEMNITY/INSURANCE (NON-LOAN) Milk is produced in all 50 states and the maintenance and expansion of existing markets for dairy are vital to the welfare of milk producers in the United States (U.S.). The dairy industry has experienced dramatic structural changes at all levels of the marketing channel that have directly affected milk prices, dairy product sales, farm incomes, and other direct aspects of dairy profitability and volatility. Low margins have been a producer complaint for some time. In addition, low prices, high production costs, and oversupply have been issues for the dairy industry in recent years. To address these concerns, DMC was included in P.L. 115-334 to replace existing dairy price and income support programs. The DMC program is much like an insurance program in that the dairy operation selects a level of coverage, and pays a premium based on the amount of coverage (and an administrative fee). As is customary with other insurance or insurance-like programs both agricultural and otherwise, the regulations only provide for coverage prospectively and contemplated that a party's level of coverage will remain unchanged unless during a designated enrollment period the party makes a different election. The amount of coverage chosen by producers in a participating dairy operation requires two selections. One is the margin trigger and the second is the amount of milk covered (which is based on a history of production). U.S. Dairy Operations that commercially market milk. Beneficiary eligibility is the same as applicant eligibility.\nThe ultimate benefit of the DMC-Dairy program will help protect farm equity and reduce financial losses that occur during times of low margins. To participate in the DMC program, an eligible dairy operation must have a production history determined for the dairy operation; register to participate during a signup announced by the Farm Service Agency (FSA); pay a $100.00 administrative fee annually during the duration of the DMC-Dairy program. An exemption of the administrative fee is applicable for those eligible that include limited resource, socially disadvantaged, beginning, and veteran farmer. Participants will select a coverage level from $4.00 to $9.50 cwt, in $.50 increments, for dairy operations of more than 5 million pounds. They will select a coverage at the Tier 2 level if they selected a Tier 1 coverage of $8.50, $9.00, and $9.50. Additionally, the dairy operation will select a coverage percentage of dairy operations production history ranging from 5 percent to 95 percent. For 2019, participating dairy operations have the option to lock-in coverage levels until 2023 and receive a 25 percent discount in their premium fees. For an existing dairy operation FSA will determine the production history from the highest of the 2011, 2012, and 2013 calendar years. For a new dairy operation \n( in operation less than one year), FSA will determine the production history by either the volume of the actual milk marketing for the months the participating dairy operation has been in operation extrapolated to a yearly amount or an estimate of the actual milk marketing of the participating dairy operation based on the herd size of the participating dairy operation relative to the national rolling herd average data published by USDA. For a dairy operation that started commercially producing milk on or after January 1, 2014 but on or before January 1 of the previous year, the dairy operation will select the total milk marketings for one year to determine a production history. All dairy operations in the U.S. are eligible to participate in the DMC program to receive margin protection payments.

3309 USA 10.135 Supplemental Dairy Margin Coverage Supplemental DMC FARM SERVICE AGENCY, AGRICULTURE, DEPARTMENT OF   Supplemental Dairy Margin Coverage (Supplemental DMC) is a program enhancement to Dairy Margin Coverage which allows small and mid-size dairy operations the opportunity to establish a supplemental production history in addition to an already established production history. By increasing the dairy operations production history through supplemental, will allow the dairy operation to cover a higher percentage of their milk production and marketing risks. DMC offers a protection plan which provides payments to dairy operations when the difference between the all-milk price and the average feed cost fall below a certain, producer selected, dollar amount. Producers will be eligible for a basic level of margin protection for a small administrative fee and be able to purchase higher coverage with a fee. INDEMNITY/INSURANCE (NON-LOAN) Milk is produced in all 50 states and the maintenance and expansion of existing markets for dairy are vital to the welfare of milk producers in the United States (U.S.). The dairy industry has experienced dramatic structural changes at all levels of the marketing channel that have directly affected milk prices, dairy product sales, farm incomes, and other direct aspects of dairy profitability and volatility. Low margins have been a producer complaint for some time. In addition, low prices, high production costs, and oversupply have been issues for the dairy industry in recent years. To address these concerns, DMC was included in P.L. 115-334 to replace existing dairy price and income support programs. For supplemental DMC, P.L. 116-260 was implemented provisions of supplemental DMC and expand production history for eligible dairy operations. The DMC program is much like an insurance program in that the dairy operation selects a level of coverage, and pays a premium based on the amount of coverage (and an administrative fee). As is customary with other insurance or insurance-like programs both agricultural and otherwise, the regulations only provide for coverage prospectively and contemplated that a party's level of coverage will remain unchanged unless during a designated enrollment period the party makes a different election. The amount of coverage chosen by producers in a participating dairy operation requires two selections. One is the margin trigger and the second is the amount of milk covered (which is based on a history of production). Not Applicable Beneficiary eligibility is the same as applicant eligibility.\nThe ultimate benefit of the DMC-Dairy program will help protect farm equity and reduce financial losses that occur during times of low-income margins for dairy operations. To participate in Supplemental DMC, the dairy operation must be a DMC participant and have an existing production history on file with FSA of less than 5,000,000 pounds to establish a supplemental history. To participate in the DMC program, an eligible dairy operation must have a production history determined for the dairy operation; register to participate during a signup announced by the Farm Service Agency (FSA); pay a $100.00 administrative fee annually during the duration of the DMC-Dairy program. An exemption of the administrative fee is applicable for those eligible that include limited resource, socially disadvantaged, beginning, and veteran farmer. Participants will select a coverage level from $4.00 to $9.50 cwt, in $.50 increments, for dairy operations of more than 5 million pounds. Additionally, if applicable will select a coverage at the Tier 2 level if they selected a Tier 1 coverage of $8.50, $9.00, and $9.50. Additionally, the dairy operation will select a coverage percentage of dairy operations production history and supplemental production history ranging from 5 percent to 95 percent. For 2019, participating dairy operations have the option to lock-in coverage levels until 2023 and receive a 25 percent discount in their premium fees. For an existing dairy operation FSA will determine the production history from the highest of the 2011, 2012, and 2013 calendar years. For a new dairy operation ( in operation less than one year), FSA will determine the production history by either the volume of the actual milk marketing for the months the participating dairy operation has been in operation extrapolated to a yearly amount or an estimate of the actual milk marketing of the participating dairy operation based on the herd size of the participating dairy operation relative to the national rolling herd average data published by USDA. For a dairy operation that started commercially producing milk on or after January 1, 2014 but on or before January 1 of the previous year, the dairy operation will select … Preapplication coordination is not applicable.

This was followed by the August 16, 2022, Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Section 22006 of this law provided additional funding to provide relief for distressed borrowers with certain FSA direct and guaranteed loans and expedited assistance to agricultural operations at risk. \nThroughout the pandemic USDA has provided vital support to farmers and ranchers experiencing a variety of hardships from natural disasters to supply chain disruption. Many producers are not aware that receiving funds from USDA through activities such as an EQIP contract, disaster payments, and the pending debt relief legislation payments creates a tax liability for their farm business. Taxpayer education has been a longstanding issue in the agricultural community. USDA frequently works with historically underserved, beginning, and limited resource producers who lack access to legal and certified public accounting services or who are unfamiliar with agricultural accounting best practices. To address these issues the Farm Service Agency (FSA), an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), is partnering with cooperators to develop and deliver taxpayer education to producers and key stakeholders. These agreements will support the creation of educational ag tax resources for agricultural producers who receive USDA payments.

The most current RFAs are available at www.ams.usda.gov/grants. AMS outlines the merit review process in each grant program’s RFA. After the application deadline has passed, AMS begins a three-step process to evaluate each application. Grant agreements are established with applicants based on the results of this three-step process to ensure compliance with requirement that Federal awarding agencies maintain a fair, unbiased merit review process in selecting competitively awarded grants. The Initial Qualification Screening is Step 1. In this step, each application is reviewed for overall completeness, as well as compliance with eligibility and program requirements. Applications that met these basic requirements moved forward to Step 2. Step 2 is the Technical Review. Applications are evaluated by panels of external peer reviewers with selected expertise representing various entities with programmatic knowledge. To eliminate bias, AMS assigns applications to reviewers outside of their own geographic areas and avoid project assignments associated with reviewer businesses. Each reviewer signs a conflict of interest and confidentiality agreement. Reviewers that indicate a real or perceived conflict do not review the affected application(s) and are removed. The peer review panels evaluate their assigned applications using instructions prepared by AMS officials. Individual reviewers score applications and then confer with other panel members. The scoring and discussion serve as the basis for awarding and allocating grant funds and focuses on strengths and weaknesses of each proposal. The third step is the Administrative Review (Step 3). AMS conducts a final administrative evaluation of each application in the review panels’ top rankings and recommendations. In addition to the applications’ scores, each award is reviewed to ensure that the recommended applications align with the grant program’s statutory purpose and that the budget items were allowable and necessary. AMS also assesses the applicants’ ability to account for use of funds. Funding opportunities are available annually.

Fiscal Year2025: Awardee evaluated consumer preferences and producer benefits from selling pecan products with varying health-and taste-related information which allowed identifying marketing promotional materials with potential for increasing pecan sales. Scientific evidence on the health-promoting properties of pecans was used as a powerful marketing tool to reach potential markets that were driven by health awareness. These markets have been the basis for the extraordinary growth of sales of specialty crops in recent years. Both health and taste attributes of pecans was simultaneously evaluated in the study conducted. There were three stages: 1) They compiled and developed marketing messages – varying in health and taste-related information and collaborated with pecan producers. 2) “They generated experimental evidence from economic experiments with producers and an online experiment with consumers using a non-hypothetical auction-like mechanism. 3) The findings from the second stage were used to develop and test marketing promotional materials currently considered by the pecan industry. The conclusion of this project was used to enhance the already successful programs developed by the pecan industry for developing a systematic marketing strategy that informed producers/retailers of other specialty crops about to successfully improve sales.

The Pesticide Data Program works with participating States to collect and analyze data on pesticide use and residue levels for selected commodities in the nation's food supply. This program provides statistically based data to Federal agencies for use in making policy decisions for regulatory and educational purposes. Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) is a labeling law that requires retailers (ie grocery stores) to notify their customers of the country of origin for covered commodities: muscle cut and ground meats for lamb, goat, and chicken; wild and farm-raised fish and shellfish (including method of production); fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables; peanuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, and ginseng. The National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard (NBFDS) requires food manufacturers, importers and other entities that label foods for retail sale to disclose information about bioengineered (BE) foods and BE food ingredients. This program requires AMS regulatory authorities to respond to stakeholder inquiries, monitor complaints and enforce labeling requirements. An annual update is required to the List of Bioengineered Foods (List) that tells regulated entities which foods they must keep records for and which foods may require BE disclosures. This program provides scientific fellowships that monitor the development of new technologies and contributes to BE policy decisions.

AMS conducts a final administrative evaluation of each application in the review panels’ top rankings and recommendations. In addition to the applications’ scores, each award is reviewed to ensure that the recommended applications align with the grant program’s statutory purpose and that the budget items were allowable and necessary. AMS also assesses the applicants’ ability to account for funds used.
