Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the prompt implementation of the Supplemental Disaster Relief Program (SDRP).
“We appreciate the speed and efficiency with which the USDA has moved to get this vital assistance to farmers,” said Patrick Johnson, Chairman of the National Cotton Council. “This rollout demonstrates a clear understanding of the urgency facing many U.S. cotton producers.”
“The farmer-friendly design of this initial phase will help expedite much-needed relief,” Johnson added. “We look forward to the second stage of this critical disaster assistance program, anticipated later this year, which will further support our nation’s agricultural producers.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) today announced that producers who experienced eligible crop losses due to natural disasters in 2023 and 2024 can apply for financial relief through the Supplemental Disaster Relief Program (SDRP). USDA will begin accepting applications on Thursday, July 10, at local Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices. To streamline the process, pre-filled applications are being mailed directly to eligible producers.
“Wheat growers have faced numerous challenges over the past year, including extreme weather,” said Pat Clements, President of the National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG). “These funds will help producers recover and continue their critical work of feeding and fueling the world. NAWG appreciates USDA’s commitment to delivering this much-needed assistance in a timely manner.”
