Disaster Payments for 2023–2024 Crop Losses
If you are a farm producer, you can get payments for losses to crops, trees, bushes, and vines caused by wildfires, hurricanes, floods, derechos, excessive heat, tornadoes, winter storms, freeze (including a polar vortex), smoke exposure, excessive moisture, qualifying drought, and related conditions that occurred in calendar years 2023 and 2024. These payments come from the Supplemental Disaster Relief Program (SDRP) Stage 1.
Stage 1 Uses Existing Insurance/NAP Records
SDRP Stage 1 will calculate payments for eligible crop, tree, and vine losses using data already on file with USDA from previously issued Federal crop insurance indemnities and Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) payments, so applications are quick and easy. FSA expects to announce SDRP Stage 2 in a later rule.
