“President Donald J. Trump and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue announced on September 17 that USDA will implement an expansion of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program. Coronavirus Food Assistance Program 2, CFAP 2, will provide producers with financial assistance that gives them the ability to absorb some of the increased marketing costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.” Quote from Farmers. gov website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 3 types of commodities that are being considered under the CFAP 2 program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Price trigger commodities<\/strong> are major commodities that meet a minimum five-percent price decline over a specified period of time.\u00a0 Some examples are milk, livestock (cattle, swine, sheep), and row crops (cotton, corn, soybeans, sorghum, wheat etc.) Row Crop Payement Information<\/a> <\/li>
  2. Flat-rate crops<\/strong> either do not meet the five-percent price decline trigger or do not have data available to calculate a price change. Examples are (peanuts, rice, millet, sesame, oats – all are harvested for grain. Forage grazing doesn’t qualify.)<\/li>
  3. Sales commodities<\/strong> eligible for CFAP 2 include specialty crops, aquaculture, nursery crops and floriculture, and other commodities not included in the price trigger and flat-rate payment categories. Examples are (fruit, vegetables, tobacco, tree nuts, wool, nursery etc.) Specialty Crops Payment Information <\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
