6/6/2022

0 Comments

 
​USDA has released disaster assistance funding for producers that sustained losses due to wildfire, smoke, heat, and more in 2020 and 2021. NVG has continually advocated for disaster assistance for members following the 2020 wildfires and is grateful to Congressman Thompson for his continued efforts in securing this critical funding.

​The WHIP+ program has been renamed the Emergency Relief Program (ERP). Funds will be released in TWO PHASES, beginning with PHASE 1 producers. To determine which PHASE  you are eligible for, review the following flowchart created by NVG.

​PHASE 1 Application Process

  • Eligible producers will receive a pre-filled application in the mail as early as this week
  • Winegrape producers are eligible for a higher limit of financial assistance. To ensure you receive the full amount, also submit FSA Form 510
  • Socially disadvantaged producers (i.e. women-owned, POC, beginning farmers, etc.) also qualify for a higher limit and need to submit form CCC-860 to determine eligibility
  • Return the pre-filled application + Form 510 and Form CCC-860 (if applicable) to FSA
  • Once received and eligibility is confirmed, payments will be issued within 4-5 days
​If producers believe they are part of PHASE 1 but did not receive an application, email fsa.vacaville.ca@usda.gov to confirm. Specify if you would like an email or phone call response and include contact information.

​Receive Free Technical Assistance with your Application

​NVG and FWF are providing free technical assistance to Napa County producers in either PHASE 1 or PHASE 2, in partnership with Morrison and Co. If you are interested in receiving technical assistance with your application, please use the following interest form.
