The Market Facilitation Program (MFP) provides partial compensation to farmers and share-rent landowners for losses occurring because of trade disputes. This program is administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA) and application procedures for MFP are straight-forward. MFP sign-up is a “one-time” event. Applicants should be sure to include all production from all farms, from all counties, and from all states on one MFP application. MFP payments will be an important source of income on many farms in 2018.
