PART A PRODUCER AGREEMENT

The Farm Service Agency (FSA) will make payments under ERP 2022 Track 2 to producers who meet the requirements of the program, subject to the availability of funds. The following information is needed for FSA to determine that the producer is eligible to receive ERP Track 2 assistance. By submitting this application, the producer agrees:


To comply with the Notice of Funds Availability published by FSA. A copy of this document may be found at: https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/emergency-relief/index.



To provide to FSA any additional information requested by FSA to verify that information provided on this form is accurate. Producer is required to retain documentation in support of their application for 3 years after the date of approval. All information provided to FSA for program eligibility and payment calculation purposes, including certification that a producer suffered an eligible loss due to a qualifying disaster event, is subject to spot check.



To comply with payment attribution and payment eligibility provisions by submitting the following forms within 60 days of the announced application deadline, if not already on file with FSA:

  • AD-2047, Customer Data Worksheet

  • CCC-902, Farm Operating Plan for Payment Eligibility

  • CCC-901, Member Information for Legal Entities (if applicable)

  • AD-1026, Highly Erodible Land Conservation (HELC) and Wetland Conservation (WC) Certification

  • FSA-510, Request for an Exception to the $125,000 Payment Limitation for Certain Programs (optional)

  • CCC-860, Socially Disadvantaged, Limited Resource, Beginning and Veteran Farmer or Rancher Certification (optional).


That the applicant experienced a decrease in disaster year revenue due to necessary expenses related to losses of eligible crops due in whole or in part to a qualifying disaster event that occurred in the 2022 calendar year. For ERP 2022, qualifying disaster event means: wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes (including excessive wind, storm surges, tropical storms, and tropical depressions that occurred as a direct result of a hurricane), floods (including silt and debris that occurred as a direct and proximate result of flooding), derechos (including excessive wind that occurred as a direct result of a derecho), excessive heat, winter storms (including excessive wind and blizzards that occurred as a direct result of a winter storm), freeze (including a polar vortex), smoke exposure, excessive moisture, and qualifying drought, and related conditions, occurring in calendar year 2022. Related conditions mean damaging weather and adverse natural occurrences that occurred concurrently with and as a direct result of a specified qualifying disaster event. “Qualifying drought” means an area within the county in which the loss occurred was rated by the U.S. Drought Monitor as having a drought intensity of D2 (severe drought) for eight consecutive weeks or D3 (extreme drought) or higher for any period of time during the applicable calendar year. A list of counties that experienced a qualifying drought in calendar year 2022 is available through local FSA service centers and at https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/emergency-relief/index.



The application will not be considered complete until the producer has signed Item 22 and completed the FSA-525, Crop Insurance and/or NAP Coverage Agreement, completed all required items and signed in Item 8.


Failure of an individual, entity, or member of an entity to timely submit all information required may result in no payment or a reduced payment.
