Washington, DC -(Effingham Radio)- Illinois is home to over 72,651 agricultural operations. At USDA, we know that these farms, and our farmers, have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. We’re here to provide support through a range of programs and services, including the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program, or CFAP.
CFAP provides direct relief to producers who faced price declines and additional marketing costs due to COVID-19. Whether you raise soybeans or horseradhish, or one of the many other commodities that provide for our state and nation, you may be eligible for CFAP. And, whether you’ve worked with Farm Service Agency for years or you’re a new customer, we’re here to make sure the application process is as simple for you as possible.
Getting started is easy. First, visit the pages below to check eligibility for the commodities you grow or raise. Next, visit farmers.gov/cfap for multiple options to apply by the September 11, 2020 deadline.
We offer a call center at 877-508-8364 for producers interested in one-on-one assistance with the application, and your local USDA Service Center staff are always available to help as well.
Farmers support our nation, and we are here to support our farmers. Visit farmers.gov/cfap to learn more about this program, and don’t forget to submit your application by September 11, 2020.
