DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Risk Management Agency Notice of Funding Availability;
Pandemic Cover Crop Program Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, and Risk Management Agency, USDA.

AGENCY:

Notification of funding availability.

ACTION:

The Risk Management Agency RMA, on behalf of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation FCIC, is announcing the availability of funding under the Pandemic Cover Crop Program PCCP to help agricultural producers impacted by the effects of the COVID19 outbreak. Given cover crop cultivation requires sustained, long-term investments to improve soil health and gain other agronomic benefits, the economic challenges due to the pandemic made maintaining cover cropping systems financially challenging for many producers. For the 2021 crop year, PCCP premium support is available to eligible producers for eligible insured acres on a spring crop insurance policy on which the producer planted a qualifying cover crop during the 2021 crop year.
