USDA Market Facilitation Program deadline

The Farm Service Agency would like to remind all producers about the Trump tariff relief program deadline. The USDA Market Facilitation Program was initiated by President Trump and the deadline is January 15, 2019. Producers will not be eligible for program payment unless they come into the office and complete the application. A payment will be issued on 50 percent of the producer’s total 2018 production, multiplied by the MFP rate for a specific commodity. A second payment if warranted will be determined by the USDA. Application deadline is January 15, 2019.
