PARKER, Colo. (RFD-TV) — Farmers are closely watching the rollout of the new Farm Bridge Assistance (FBA) Program as they compare it to last year’s ECAP payments. With the acreage reporting deadline arriving on Friday and payment details coming into focus, many producers are looking for clarity on what to expect.
Farm CPA Paul Neiffer joined us on Friday’s Market Day Report to break down the key differences between the two programs and explain how the new assistance could impact farmers this year.
In his interview with RFD-TV News, Neiffer outlined the major distinctions between the earlier ECAP payments and the Farm Bridge Assistance Program, including how the programs are structured and who may benefit. He also addressed whether upcoming payments are expected to exceed ECAP and which factors could influence the final payment amounts.
Neiffer discussed the acreage reporting deadline and explained the documentation the USDA requires from farmers to remain eligible for payments. He emphasized the importance of submitting accurate and timely paperwork as the reporting window closes. Looking ahead, he provided guidance on what farmers should watch for in the coming weeks as the USDA finalizes payment details and timeline.
