USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) is delivering more than $16 billion in total Congressionally
approved disaster relief. FSA is now accepting applications for assistance through the second stage
of the Supplemental Disaster Relief Program (SDRP) from agricultural producers who suffered
eligible non-indemnified, uncovered or quality crop losses due to qualifying natural disasters in 2023
and 2024.
Stage Two covers eligible crop, tree, bush and vine losses that were not covered under Stage One
program provisions, including non-indemnified (shallow loss), uncovered and quality losses. Although
the majority of payments from the first stage are already in the hands of producers helping them
prepare for and invest in the next crop year, Stage One assistance, announced in July, remains
available to producers who received an indemnity under crop insurance or the Noninsured Crop
Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) for eligible crop losses due to qualifying 2023 and 2024natural
disaster events.
The deadline to apply for both Stage One and Stage Two assistance is April 30, 2026.
SDRP Stage Two provides assistance for eligible crop, tree, bush and vine losses not covered under
Stage One, including:
- Non-Indemnified Losses (Including Shallow Losses)
- Insured losses through federal crop insurance that did not trigger a crop insurance indemnity.
- Losses with NAP coverage that did not trigger a NAP payment.
- Uncovered Losses (Uninsured Losses)
- Includes losses that were not insured through federal crop insurance or NAP.
- Quality Losses
- Includes quality losses to commodities indicated by:
A decrease in value based on discounts due to the physical condition of the crop supported by
applicable grading factors - A decline in the nutritional value of forage crops supported by documented forage tests.
- Producers will certify to an SDRP quality loss percentage.
