Supplemental Disaster Relief Available

Enrollment is underway for the second stage of USDA’s Supplemental Disaster Relief Program. Rather than pre-filled forms, Minnesota FSA State Executive Director Kurt Blomgren says Stage 2 is more complex. “First of all, we’re requesting that producers call into their local county office and set up an appointment so it’s a better use of their time,” said Blomgren. “There’s plenty of time to apply her, the deadline isn’t until the end of April.” This program is to help farmers and ranchers who suffered revenue, quality, or production losses due to extreme weather in 2023 and 2024.
