Register for Feb. 9 Webinar on USDA Relief from Disaster/Pandemic Financial Losses

Wine Institute along with California Association of Winegrape Growers and U.S. Department of Agriculture are hosting a webinar on Thursday, Feb. 9, 2023, from 9 to 10 a.m. on federal programs available through the USDA’s Farm Service Agency to recoup financial losses that occurred as a result of the COVID pandemic and recent natural disasters. 

Agency officials will review eligibility requirements and payment calculations as well as explain how to complete applications for Phase 2 of the Emergency Relief Program (ERP) and the Pandemic Assistance Revenue Program (PARP). Ag producers who did not hold crop insurance but experienced financial loss from a natural disaster in 2020 or 2021 qualify for Phase 2 of ERP. A grower who sustained a 15% or greater decrease in allowable gross revenue in 2020 qualifies for PARP. A recording will be made available for those who cannot participate in the live webinar.

Additional information on the two programs can be found at the following links: Emergency Relief Program Phase 2 Fact Sheet, Pandemic Assistance Revenue Program Fact Sheet and ERP Phase 2 and PARP Comparison Fact Sheet.
