USDA is reminding agricultural producers impacted by increased input costs and natural disasters that the deadlines to apply for safety net and disaster assistance programs designed to protect their financial security are coming soon. USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) wants to remind producers that the Assistance for Specialty Crop Farmers (ASCF) program and the Supplemental Disaster Relief Program (SDRP), both have deadlines in early August. Additionally, thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, eligible landowners have until the end of August to review and consider base acre increases for the first time since 2002 for the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs.
Agricultural producers are reminded of these important upcoming deadlines:
-
Aug. 7, 2026 – Deadline to apply for ASCF
-
Aug. 12, 2026 – Deadline to apply for SDRP
-
Aug. 31, 2026 – Deadline to review base allocations through ARC/PLC
