The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will host a webinar on August 19 at 2 p.m. CST to discuss recently added commodities eligible for the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP).

The Farm Service Agency (FSA) will explain how CFAP works for eligible specialty crops, nursery crops and cut flowers, aquaculture commodities and certain types of eggs, and will share detailed examples of how to apply.

USDA has extended the deadline and is accepting applications for CFAP through September 11. CFAP helps offset price declines and additional marketing costs because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Producers must register to participate in the webinar.

Additional CFAP resources are available at farmers.gov/cfap.
