The USDA has announced Farmer Bridge Payments – a support package to assist producers affected by trade practices. The program implementation will be based on FSA-reported acres. A December 19, 2025, deadline has been established for acreage certification. Growers are encouraged to contact their local FSA office immediately with any questions about acreage records in the event your acres were not previously certified for the year.
