Register for June 9 Emergency Relief Program Webinar

Wine Institute and the California Association of Winegrape Growers will be hosting a webinar on the Emergency Relief Program (ERP) on Thursday, June 9, 2022, at 9 a.m. PDT with officials from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency (FSA). The ERP was enacted by Congress in September 2021 as an extension of the Wildfire & Hurricane Indemnity Plus Program (WHIP+) to cover financial losses for farmers and ranchers as a result of natural disasters that occurred in 2020 and 2021, including wildfires, smoke exposure, extensive heat, droughts, hurricanes, derechos, floods and winter storms. FSA officials will outline eligibility requirements and explain payment calculations as well as answer additional questions about the program. Register for the webinar here.
