The USDA announced it has finalized the Assistance for Specialty Crop Farmers Program, announced late last year. Danny Munch, an economist for the American Farm Bureau Federation, said the funds are part of the USDA’s broader Farmer Bridge Assistance Program.

The assistance is available to farmers who planted specialty crops in 2025 and reported those acres to the Farm Service Agency.

Munch said the USDA is already preparing pre-filled applications for eligible farmers.
