The DATCP is reminding farmers who have been affected by COVID-19, that the Wisconsin Farm Support Program is now open for a second round of applications.
There are $8.4 million still available for producers of any commodity who had a gross income from farming between $10,000-$5 million in 2019 and did not already receive a payment in the first round of the program.
Producers should be aware that gross income does not mean profit and is not limited only to sales. “Income” is broadly defined to include a variety of types of income, such as rental payments from the Conservation Reserve Program or payments from federal insurance programs, among other types of income.
Payments are expected to be issued by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) in mid-September. The specific amount producers will receive will be determined once the application period closes.
The application is available at https://tap.revenue.wi.gov/farm.
