Farmers can now begin the process of applying for aid under the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) a new aid program funded by Congress through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Stability (CARES) Act. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has also made available its payment calculator (linked below). Farmers are encouraged to contact their Farm Service Agency (FSA) county office at your local USDA Service Center to schedule an appointment.
