PARKER, COLO. (RFD NEWS) — Farmers are facing a key deadline as they have until the end of the month to apply for Stages 1 and 2 of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Supplemental Disaster Relief Program (SDRP) through the Farm Service Agency.
Farm CPA Paul Neiffer joined us on Thursday’s Market Day Report for a closer look at the process and responded to lingering questions about how much funding has already been distributed and what additional payments may be on the way.
In his interview with RFD NEWS, Neiffer outlines how much has been paid to date under the first two stages of the program and provides insight into how much more funding eligible farmers could expect beginning in May. He also addresses whether the program could be extended beyond the April 30 deadline, as producers continue to navigate financial recovery.
