The California Farm Service Agency (FSA) will host a webinar on Tuesday, March 10 for producers to learn more about the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Supplemental Disaster Relief Program (SDRP) Stage 2. The webinar is an important opportunity for producers with 2023 and 2024 disaster losses to ask FSA staff direct questions about the application process and understand its requirements.

The SDRP provides over $16 billion in supplemental assistance for agricultural producers nationwide that had losses from natural disasters in 2023 and 2024. Stage 2 addresses losses that didn’t trigger a previous payment and uninsured losses, giving producers broader access to disaster relief.

Stage 2 enrollment opened on Nov. 24, 2025, and runs through April 30, 2026.

The Stage 1 deadline is also April 30, 2026. Stage 1 opened July 10, 2025, and uses existing crop insurance and Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) indemnity data. To date, roughly $6 billion has been disbursed directly to U.S. producers through Stage 1.

Additional resources on both Stage 1 and 2 can be found now on the USDA SDRP website.
