The program will provide payments based on market disruptions and subsequent declines in market costs and distribution challenges to producers in all aspects of the agriculture industry.\n \n\tOur farmers and ranchers never missed a day of work due to COVID but faced serious challenges associated with the ongoing pandemic,said U.S. Congressman Roger Marshall, M.D.This second round of payments continues this administration's commitment to the agriculture industry and includes all Kansas wheat farmers, many of which were left out of the first round of payments. It is essential we continue to provide our hardworking farmers, ranchers and farm families with the resources and assistance necessary to continue providing Americans and the world the safest, highest quality, and most affordable food supply in the world.\n \nFinancial assistance will be made available through the Commodity Credit Corporation and CARES Act funding to support impacted producers in all sectors of the agriculture industry. Payments will be issued for three categories: price-triggered commodities, flat-rate crops and sales commodities. Producers will receive 100 percent of the payment on the initial allocation. CFAP 2 retains the same eligibility requirements as CFAP 1. The application period will begin Sept. 21 and will remain open until Dec. 11, 2020.
