The USDA, with the welfare of farmers and ranchers in mind, has extended the deadline to submit the applications for the Emergency Relief Program phase 2 and Pandemic Assistance Revenue Program (PARP).
Since the Department of Agriculture approved the program and always thinking about supporting the farmers and ranchers who have suffered any loss due to any natural disaster during the calendar years 2020 and 2021, the USDA has been focused on delivering the aid and resources needed at the national level.
The new deadline to submit the applications, for the Emergency Relief Program phase 2 and Pandemic Assistance Revenue Program (PARP), is July 14, 2023. The extended deadline is a big opportunity to get more farmers and ranchers enrolled in any program offered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA). The main goal is to deliver the resources to all those in need.
We encourage all interested farmers and ranchers to apply for any program offered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA), specially the Emergency Relief Program, Emergency Relief Program Phase 2 and Pandemic Assistance Revenue Program (PARP).
If you would like to get more information, please visit our website at www.lfrinc.org or contact any of our field representatives in New Mexico, California and Colorado. This program is being developed in partnership with Flower Hill Institute, Farmer’s Outreach, Farmers Veteran Coalition and Women in Ranching. You can also reach out to any of the above organizations.
