About this program
The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency administers the Quality Loss Adjustment Program (CFDA 10.133), which provided direct payments to agricultural producers for crop quality losses sustained during qualifying disaster events in calendar years 2018 and 2019, with the application period closing on March 5, 2021.
The program funded indemnity payments to eligible producers whose harvested crops experienced at least a 5 percent quality loss attributable to hurricanes, excessive moisture, floods, qualifying drought, tornadoes, typhoons, volcanic activity, snowstorms, or wildfires. FSA approved and awarded payments based on a producer's harvested affected crop production; where applications exceeded available funding, FSA prorated payments nationally. Recipients retained unrestricted use of awarded funds with no time restrictions on spending. The program required applicants to retain supporting documentation for three years following approval and to submit verification documentation upon FSA request.
The program is no longer accepting applications as of March 5, 2021. FSA has closed the Quality Loss Adjustment Program to new applicants, making this assistance listing inactive for grant-seeking purposes. Agriculture producers were the eligible applicant category; no award-portfolio data, recent grant awards, or current funding opportunities are present in the source for this closed program.
A separate, currently open opportunity exists under FSA for outreach and technical assistance: the Outreach Education and Technical Assistance for Farm Service Agency Programs NOFO (USDA-FSA-MULTI-21-NOFO0001104), posted April 5, 2021 with a due date of May 5, 2021, seeks Cooperative Agreement funding from higher education institutions, Tribal governments, Tribal organizations, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits to expand FSA program awareness and education among socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers through targeted outreach and technical assistance. However, this opportunity falls outside CFDA 10.133 and represents a distinct funding mechanism.
