Application ProcessProducers can apply for assistance beginning on May 26, 2020. Additional information and application forms can be found at farmers.gov/cfap . Producers of all eligible commodities will apply through their local FSA office. Documentation to support the producer’s application and certification may be requested. FSA has streamlined the signup process to not require an acreage report at the time of application and a USDA farm number may not be immediately needed. Applications will be accepted through August 28, 2020. 

Applications must be submitted in person, by mail, email, fax, or to a county FSA office. USDA Service Centers are open for business by phone appointment only, so producers should call the appropriate FSA office once the application period opens.
