Ag Disaster Crop Loss Program Fact Sheet

On March 19 2025, through The Disaster Recovery Act of 2025 – Part I
(S.L. 2025-2), the North Carolina General Assembly established the
Agricultural Disaster Crop Loss Program, a one-time assistance program
for agricultural producers who suffered verifiable losses from any
declared agricultural disaster in 2024. This includes Hurricane Helene,
drought, Tropical Storm Debby, and Potential Cyclone 8. The General
Assembly appropriated nearly $311 million for the program that will be
administered by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services. $200 million will be for verifiable losses from
Hurricane Helene in the affected area and about $111 million will be for
verifiable losses from all other agricultural disasters in 2024.

Eligibility Criteria:

  • A person who experienced a verifiable loss of agriculture or aquaculture
    commodities or farm infrastructure as a result of a Presidential or Secretarial
    declared disaster (including contiguous counties) in 2024.
  • The farm is located in an affected area for the respective agricultural
    disaster.
  • The commodity or aquaculture was planted or being raised before the date
    of the disaster set forth in the Presidential or Secretarial declaration for the
    county in which the agricultural or aquaculture commodities or farm
    infrastructure are located and for which verifiable losses are claimed.

Eligible Producers Will Need the Following:

  • A 2024 FSA 578 Producer Print on file with the USDA Farm Service
    Agency for USDA reported crops.
  • If you do not have a 2024 FSA 578 Producer Print, please contact
