Revenue Program Assistance

Revenue program provides financial aid to producers with a significant decrease in revenue in 2020 compared to 2018 or 2019. It targets overall revenue losses and includes previously ineligible commodities. Producers who participated in prior USDA programs may receive extra assistance if they still have revenue losses after accounting for other payments.

How Payments are Made

Payments are calculated on a whole-farm basis rather than commodity-by-commodity. To qualify, agricultural producers must have been actively farming during part of the 2020 calendar year and experienced a 15 percent decrease in allowable gross revenue compared to either their elected 2018 or 2019 calendar year revenue, or their expected 2020 revenue if no revenue was generated in 2018 or 2019.

You may calculate your expected payment using the following equation: 

Expected Payment = ((Allowable Gross Revenue from either 2018 or 2019 - Allowable Gross Revenue from 2020) X Either 80% or 90% Payment Factor) - Any CFAP 1 and 2, PLIP, SMHPP, and 2020 ERP Payments

Payments will be issued after the application period ends on June 2, 2023.

Payments are subject to a per person and legal entity payment limitation of $125,000. USDA may factor the payments or reduce the maximum payment limitation if the total calculated payments exceed the available funding.

Program is funded through the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021.
