Federal agriculture officials have launched registration for the Farmer Bridge Assistance Program, with specialty crop producers being urged to participate after meeting acreage documentation requirements.
Richard Fordyce, the USDA’s Undersecretary for Farm Production and Conservation, explained to agricultural reporters that numerous crop varieties are eligible for the program. He emphasized the importance of proper documentation, stating: “There’s a bunch of crops on there, and we’re asking farmers that grow those crops to make sure they have a completed acreage report.”
The federal assistance program requires growers to submit detailed acreage information before they can access the bridge funding designed to support agricultural operations.
