Eligible farmers will soon receive a second Supplemental Disaster Relief Program (SDRP) payment to alleviate natural disaster losses from 2023 and 2024.
Farmers will automatically be awarded an additional 35% of their calculated SDRP payment, doubling the program’s overall payment factor to 70%. The application deadline has been extended to Aug. 12.
Stage 1️⃣ remains available to producers who received an indemnity under crop insurance or the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) for eligible crop losses.
Stage 2️⃣ covers eligible crop, tree, bush and vine losses not covered under Stage 1 provisions, including non-indemnified (shallow loss), uncovered and quality losses.
Eligible losses must be the result of natural disasters from 2023 or 2024. These include wildfires, hurricanes, floods, derechos, excessive heat, tornadoes, winter storms, freeze (including a polar vortex), smoke exposure, excessive moisture, qualifying drought and related conditions.
