USDA Expands Disaster Aid for Farmers and Pushes SDRP Deadline to Aug. 12

TL;DR Summary
USDA announced a second Supplemental Disaster Relief Program payment to eligible producers with approved 2023–2024 disaster-loss applications, increasing the payout factor to 70% (an additional 35% of the calculated SDRP payment) and extending the deadline to August 12, 2026. SDRP Stage 1 remains for insured or NAP-covered losses, while SDRP Stage 2 covers additional non-indemnified, shallow, and quality losses. The extension gives producers more time to adjust applications, as overall federal support for farmers exceeds $39 billion across SDRP and related programs.
