Title: ●Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) | |
Abstract:
ECP provides emergency funding and technical assistance to farmers and ranchers to rehabilitate farmland damaged by natural disasters and to implement emergency water conservation measures in periods of severe drought. The rule incorporates the changes to 7 CFR part 701 to be consistent with the provisions of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Farm Bill), which makes a portion of the cost-share payments for the repair or replacement of fencing available to eligible producers prior to the producer carrying out the repair or replacement, increases the maximum payment amount a producer can receive under ECP, and establishes a maximum payment percentage that a producer may receive to now include a socially disadvantaged farmer or beginning farmer or rancher. |
