The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) at the beginning of the year announced support for farmers impacted by extreme weather in 2018 and 2019.
The funding comes through USDA’s Quality Loss Adjustment Program (QLA) providing $1.5 billion for farmers facing crop losses due to extreme weather. It was created to supplement relief provided to farmers through the Wildfire, Hurricane, and Indemnity Program Plus (WHIP+).
Since September 2019, Sen. Jon Tester has been working to get relief for producers in Eastern Montana facing quality losses due to excessive rain and flooding in the region during harvest.
