Coronavirus Food Assistance Program 2 deadline is Dec. 11

Signup for the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program 2 (CFAP 2) began on Sept. 21, 2020 and will continue through Dec. 11, 2020. CFAP 2 provides eligible producers with direct financial assistance due to market disruptions and associated costs because of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

CFAP 2 is a separate program from the first round of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program, now referred to as CFAP 1. Farmers and ranchers who participated in CFAP 1 WILL NOT be automatically enrolled and must complete a new application for CFAP 2.

The CFAP 2 pays for non-breeding livestock (calves, heifers, steers, young sheep and goats, pigs, etc.). Eligible livestock would be the highest owned inventory of non-breeding livestock for any ONE day between April 16^th and August 31^st.
