On-Farm Stored Commodity Loss Program

On -Farm Stored Commodity Loss Program (OFSCLP) assists producers of on-farm stored commodities recovering from losses due to storms and disasters that occurred in calendar years 2023 and 2024.

OFSCLP provides payments to eligible producers who suffered uncompensated losses of harvested commodities stored in on-farm structures as a result of wildfires, hurricanes, floods, derechos, excessive heat, tornadoes, winter storms, freeze, including a polar vortex, smoke exposure, qualifying drought, and related conditions that occurred in calendar years 2023 and 2024. Commodities stored in warehouses are not eligible for this program. Eligible commodities include wheat, oats, barley, corn, grain sorghum, long grain rice, medium grain rice, seed cotton, pulse crops, soybeans, other oilseeds, peanuts, and all hay. These commodities must be produced, harvested, and stored on a farm in the United States.
