Today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Farm Service Agency opens enrollment for Stage Two applications under the Supplemental Disaster Relief Program (SDRP) for farmers. The Stage Two assistance includes eligible crop, tree, bush, and vine losses that were not covered under Stage One program provisions. "The continued financial success of our farming and ranching operations is a national security priority," said USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins. "USDA is doing whatever it takes to make good on President Trump's promise to expedite disaster recovery assistance to U.S. farmers and ranchers, ensuring viability, prosperity, and longevity for these men and women who dedicate their entire lives to our nation's food, fiber, and fuel production." |
