The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) and Farm Service Agency (FSA) will host a webinar on Thursday, May 14, 2020, at 12pm (CT), for farmers, ranchers and other producers interested in applying for direct payments through the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP).
The CFAP program is part of the April 17 announcement of a $19 billion Coronavirus Farm Assistance Program.
The USDA will assist eligible producers effected by lost demand and short-term oversupply for the 2020 marketing year caused by COVID-19.
Producers that are new to Farm Service Agency programs are encouraged to participate.

While questions will not be answered live during the webinar, answers will be posted at farmers.gov/CFAP.
