| 10.051 | Commodity Loans and Loan Deficiency Payments | Marketing Assistance Loans (MALs) and Loan Deficiency Payments (LDPs) | FARM SERVICE AGENCY, AGRICULTURE, DEPARTMENT OF | USDA | DIRECT PAYMENTS WITH UNRESTRICTED USE;DIRECT LOANS | To improve and stabilize farm income, to assist in bringing about a better balance between supply and demand of the commodities, and to assist farmers in the orderly marketing of their crops. Marketing assistance loans provide producers interim financing at harvest time to meet cash flow needs without having to sell their commodities when market prices are typically at harvest-time lows. Allowing producers to store production at harvest facilitates more orderly marketing of commodities throughout the year. Market loan repayment provisions specify, under certain circumstances, that producers may repay loans at less than principal plus accrued interest and other charges. Alternatively, loan deficiency payment (LDP) provisions specify that, in lieu of securing a loan, producers may be eligible for an LDP. Both programs allow a producer flexibly to market commodities while providing cashflow. | Commodity loans and loan deficiency payments (LDP's) give farmers a means of promoting more orderly marketing. Loans to producers may be "nonrecourse" which means that producers have the option of forfeiting the collateral to CCC at loan maturity in full satisfaction of the loan obligation; or "recourse" for low quality grain, or non-ginned seed cotton, which means that producers must repay the loans by maturity." If market prices are above the support level, producers may repay their loans at the original loan principal plus interest and market their commodities. When market prices are low, most nonrecourse commodity loan repayments are less than the original loan principal plus interest. Eligible commodities for loans are produced and harvested wheat, corn, grain sorghum, oats, barley, rice, peanuts, upland cotton, extra-long staple cotton, soybeans, crambe, canola, flaxseed, mustard seed, rapeseed, safflower, sunflower seed, sesame seed, dry peas, lentils, small and large chickpeas, graded and ungraded wool, honey, and sugar. LDP's are offered for produced and harvested wheat, corn, grain sorghum, oats, barley, upland cotton, rice, soybeans, crambe, canola, flaxseed, mustard seed, rapeseed, safflower, sunflower seed, sesame seed, peanuts, dry peas, lentils, small and large chickpeas, graded and ungraded wool, unshorn pelts, honey, hay, and silage. If the loan repayment rates for these commodities are less than the established loan levels, producers may, for most commodities that are eligible for a nonrecourse loan, agree to forego such loan and elect to receive an LDP. The LDP payment rate equals the amount by which the loan rate exceeds the loan repayment rate in effect at the time the LDP application is approved, or the delivery date, or date sold or date beneficial interest is lost, as applicable. The 2016 Consolidated Appropriations Act authorized producers the option of a commodity certificate exchange as a nonrecourse loan repayment mechanism. In situations when the loan rate exceeds the exchange rate, producers may opt to purchase a commodity certificate from the local FSA office and immediately exchange that certificate for their outstanding loan collateral. | Owner, landlord, tenant, or sharecropper on an eligible farm that has produced the eligible commodities or, in the case of sugar, a processor or refiner who meets program requirements as announced by the Secretary. | Beneficiary eligibility is the same as applicant eligibility. Owner, landlord, tenant, or sharecropper on a farm that has produced the eligible commodities, meets program requirements as announced by the Secretary, and maintains beneficial interest in the commodity. State and County governments may be eligible for MAL's and LDP's when they have a share in produced and harvested eligible commodities on land they own, if the benefits or payments are used to support public schools. | Jan 31, 2026 to Sep 30, 2026 Deadline for the year following year in which crop is normally harvested is as follows: January 31st -- the last day to request, MALs and LDPs for peanuts, mohair, and wool (including unshorn pelt LDPs). March 31st -- last day to MALs and LDPs for wheat, barley, oats, canola, flaxseed, crambe, rapeseed, sesame seed, and honey; May 31st -- last day to request MALs and LDPs for rice, corn, grain sorghum, cotton, soybeans, safflower, sunflower seed, mustard seed, small and large chickpeas, lentils, dry peas , and cotton; and September 30th -- last day to request sugar loans. | Statutory Formula: Title 7 CFR, Part 1421, 1427, 1434, 1435, Subpart All,Public Law 119 -21.7 CFR Chapter 1421 Grains And Similarly Handled Commodities - Marketing Assistance Loans And Loan Deficiency Payments 7 CFR Chapter 1427- Cotton 7 CFR Chapter 1434- Nonrecourse Marketing Assistance Loans and Loan Deficiency Payments for Honey 7 CFR Chapter 1435- Sugar ProgramMatching requirements are not applicable to this assistance listing.

Dairy operations can also be indemnified because of contamination with chemicals or toxic substances, nuclear radiation or fallout. Affected dairy operations provide documentation of the dumped milk losses and are paid through DIPP for the full value of the dumped milk. Additionally, DIPP has the authority to indemnify cows that are permanently contaminated due to a chemical contamination. DIPP has successfully compensated dairy operations for many decades for dumped milk losses due to contamination issues. | Fair market value for the milk is paid to the dairy operation who is unable to market because of any of the violating substances, and the fair market value of the dairy product is paid to the manufacturer who is unable to market because of pesticide residue. No payment may be made to any dairy farmer or any manufacturer whose milk or dairy product was removed from the market as a result of his negligence or his willful failure to follow procedures prescribed by the Federal government. After 3 or more months of milk indemnification due to contamination, the dairy operation may be eligible for indemnification of dairy cows, open heifers, and bred heifers and required to permanently remove and euthanize the contaminated dairy animals. | Dairy operation whose milk has been removed from the market by a public agency because of residue of any violating substance in such milk.

The loan must be approved by the local FSA state or county committee before any site preparation, construction, and/or acquisition can be started. All loan requests are subject to an environmental evaluation. Accepting delivery of equipment, starting any site preparation, or construction before loan approval, may impede the successful completion of an environmental evaluation and may adversely affect loan eligibility. | A FSFL is used to finance the purchase, construction, and/or upgrade of storage structures, storage and handling equipment and trucks--all eligible items may be new or used, permanently affixed or portable. The loan amount is limited to $500,000 per storage facility for a regular loan and a $50,000 aggregate balance for microloans. Eligible facilities and equipment include: 1) conventional type bins or silos; 2) flat-type storage structures, including a permanent concrete floor and bulkheads; 3) storage structures; 4) electrical equipment; and 5) concrete foundations, aprons, pits and pads, including site preparation, labor and material. The following are security requirements for farm storage facility loans: All loans must be secured by a promissory note and security agreement, as well as a UCC-1 describing the storage facility and accompanying equipment; and severance agreements from all lien holders on the real estate where the facility will be located or from owners of real estate when the loan applicant is not the landowner, except when CCC holds the first lien on the real estate. For loans with an aggregate outstanding loan balance less than $100,000, severance agreements will not be required if the borrower increases the down payment from 15 percent to 20 percent. For loans that exceed $100,000 or the borrower's aggregate outstanding loan balance exceeds $100,000, the borrower must be able to provide at least one of the following: A first lien on the real estate on which the facility is located; Real estate owned by the borrower other than where the facility is located, provided the real estate offered is sufficient to secure the loan; or An irrevocable letter of credit from a financial institution in an amount sufficient to protect CCC's interest for each year the loan has an outstanding balance. Facility Loan Terms. The following are the terms for farm storage facility loans: A 15 percent minimum down payment is required for regular loans and 5 percent for microloans; thus, CCC's loan is limited to 85 percent (for regular loans), or 95 percent (for microloans), of the net cost of the eligible storage facility and drying and handling equipment (subject to the applicant's storage needs test). The down payment cannot include any trade-in, discount, rebate, deferred payment, or post-dated check. Loan terms available are three (3), five (5), seven (7) years, ten (10) years or twelve (12) years depending on the amount of the loan. Interest rate is fixed for the loan term based on the rate in effect during the month the loan is initially approved. The interest rate is equivalent to the rate of interest charged on Treasury Securities of comparable term and maturity. Loans are to be repaid in equal amortized annual installments. Loan will not be disbursed until after the purchase or the facility has been erected and inspected with the exception of one (1) qualifying partial disbursement, once 50 percent of the facility has been completed at a maximum amount of 50 percent of the approved loan amount, not to exceed $250,000.

| 10.089 | Livestock Forage Disaster Program | LFP | FARM SERVICE AGENCY, AGRICULTURE, DEPARTMENT OF | USDA | DIRECT PAYMENTS FOR SPECIFIED USE | The objective of LFP is to provide financial assistance from the Agricultural Disaster Relief Trust Fund (Trust Fund). The Secretary of Agriculture (henceforth the Secretary) has the authority to use sums from the Trust Fund to provide compensation to livestock producers who suffered grazing losses due to drought or fire. For drought, the losses must have occurred because of a qualifying drought during the normal grazing period for the county on land that is native or improved pastureland with permanent vegetative cover or is planted to a crop planted specifically for grazing covered livestock. For fire, LFP provides payments to eligible livestock producers that have suffered grazing losses on range land managed by a Federal agency if the eligible livestock producer is prohibited by the Federal agency from grazing the normal permitted livestock on the managed range land because of a qualifying fire. Eligible grazing losses must have occurred on or after January 1, 2008, and before October 1, 2011. The eligible grazing losses must occur within the same calendar year for which benefits are being requested. ATRA provides extending benefits to livestock producers for grazing losses due to drought and wildfires on Federal lands through September 30, 2013, subject to appropriations. | The assistance can be used to provide financial assistance for grazing losses due to drought equal to one, two, or three times the monthly payment rate to eligible livestock producers if the eligible livestock producer owns or leases a grazing land or pastureland that is physically located in a county that is rated by the U.S. drought Monitor as D2 Drought (severe drought) for at least eight consecutive weeks, D3 (extreme drought) at any time or for four weeks (not necessarily four consecutive weeks), or a D4 (exceptional drought at anytime) during the normal grazing period for the specific type of grazing land or pastureland for the county. ATRA provides extending benefits to livestock producers for grazing losses due to drought and wildfires on Federal lands through September 30, 2013, subject to appropriations. Eligible livestock producers are eligible to receive assistance if grazing losses due to a fire on Federally managed land if the grazing loss is on range-land managed by a Federal agency such as the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs or Tribal government and the eligible producer is prohibited by the Federal agency from grazing the normal permitted livestock and/or normal permitted days. Livestock producers are eligible to receive assistance if grazing losses due to drought or fire occur on or after January 1, 2008 and before October 1, 2011.; | An eligible applicant or livestock producer may use assistance for grazing or fire losses for any specific purpose. Eligible covered livestock includes cattle (including dairy cattle); buffalo/beefalo/ alpacas, deer, elk, emu, equine, goats, llamas, poultry; reindeer, sheep; swine; and other livestock as determined by the Secretary. | Beneficiary eligibility is the same as applicant eligibility. Beneficiary eligibility is extended to an eligible livestock producer who is an owner, cash share lessee, a contract grower of covered livestock that provides the pasture land or grazing land (including cash-leased pasture land or grazing land for the livestock) that is physically located in a county affected by drought. The term "eligible livestock producer" does not include an owner, cash or share lessee, or contract grower of livestock that rents or leases pasture land or grazing land owned by another person on a rate-of-gain basis. The eligible producer on a farm must have during the 60 calendar days before the beginning date of a qualifying drought or fire, owned, cashed or share leased, or been a contract grower of eligible covered livestock. An eligible livestock producer must also be an individual or entity that is a citizen of the United States (U.S.); a resident alien; a partnership of citizens of the U.S.; or a corporation, limited liability corporation, or other farm organizational structure organized under State law. An eligible livestock producer shall only be eligible for assistance if the livestock producer meets the risk management purchase requirement by obtaining a policy or plan of insurance or filed the required paperwork and paid the administrative fee by the applicable State application closing deadline date for the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) for the grazing land crop that incurred the loss for which assistance is being requested. For 2008 only, a waiver was authorized to allow producers to pay a buy-in fee or receive a waiver by September 16, 2008, for grazing land for which the producer did not obtain a policy or plan of insurance for 2008. The risk management purchase requirement will be waived for producers who are considered to be a socially disadvantaged farmer or rancher, limited resource farmer or rancher, or beginning farmer or rancher. | Deadlines do not apply This program is no longer accepting application. To apply for LFP, producers that suffered eligible grazing losses during 2008 must have filed FSA-925 and required supporting documentation by no later that December 10, 2009.

| 10.098 | Reimbursement Transportation Cost Payment Program for Geographically Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers | RTCP | FARM SERVICE AGENCY, AGRICULTURE, DEPARTMENT OF | USDA | DIRECT PAYMENTS WITH UNRESTRICTED USE | The intended goal of the program is to provide direct reimbursement payments to a geographically disadvantaged farmer or rancher who transports an agricultural commodity, or inputs used to produce an agricultural commodity during a fiscal year. Input transportation cost are transportation costs of inputs used to produce an agricultural commodity including, but not limited to, air, ocean, and land freight of chemicals, feed, fertilizer, fuel, seeds, plants, supplies, equipment parts, and other inputs. The Farm Service Agency (FSA), Deputy Administrator for Farm Programs (DAFP) administers RTCP. The program will be carried out in the field by FSA State and county committee and FSA employees. State and local governments and their political subdivisions and related agencies are not eligible for RTCP payments. | RTCP provides monetary assistance to geographically disadvantaged farmers and ranchers by reimbursing them for a portion of the transportation cost of their agricultural commodity, or transported inputs used to produce an agricultural commodity during the fiscal year. The payments provided by RTCP are intended to offset a portion of the high cost of transporting inputs for production purposes and transporting products to markets. The types of transportation rates used to determine reimbursable amounts are: (1) Actual transportation rates which are based on the actual costs incurred by the applicant and must be determined in all cases from verifiable records. (2) Fixed transportation rates are determined by FSA and will establish per unit transportation costs for each eligible commodity or input used to produce the eligible commodity. (3) Set transportation rates are established for those transportation costs that are not on the FSA list of fixed rates and for which a actual rate cannot be documented. They will be set by FSA based on available data of transportation costs similar commodities and inputs. | To be eligible to receive program benefits, a geographically disadvantaged farmer or rancher must: (1) Be a producer of an eligible agricultural commodity in substantial commercial quantities (2) Incur transportation costs for the transportation of the agricultural commodity or input used to produce the agriculture commodity (3) Submit an application for payment during the specified period applicable for each fiscal year.
