UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – The USDA’s $16 billion program offers expedited financial aid in two stages to farmers nationwide suffering crop losses from natural disasters in 2023-24, with 35% of payments distributed initially.
- Rollins announced that assistance totaling $16 billion is now available for crop losses in 2023 and 2024 through the SDRP.
- Building on Congressional funding for disaster relief, Rollins announced a plan to distribute $30 billion, with $16 billion allocated from the American Rescue Act of 2025.
- Launching streamlined, pre-filled applications, the SDRP's Stage One mails July 9, 2025, to eligible producers with assistance limits and crop insurance or NAP requirements.

- Meanwhile, the expedited timeline contrasts with the Biden Administration’s 13-month average for disaster relief, which Senator John Boozman called `critical step` in recent years.
