Eligible producers should apply after harvest is complete, as payments will only be issued once production is reported.

MFP payments are limited to a combined $125,000 for corn, cotton, sorghum, soybeans, wheat, fresh cherries, and almonds capped per person or legal entity. MFP payments are also limited to a combined $125,000 for dairy and hog producers.

Applicants must also have an average adjusted gross income for tax years 2014, 2015, and 2016 of less than $900,000. Applicants must also comply with the provisions of the Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation regulations.

Producers can apply at their local FSA county office, including by fax, mail, and email.

The application requires some basic contact information and specifics about commodities that have already been harvested to date.

Producers will need to sign the application form and provide production evidence, like receipts, for each commodity.

See Farmers.gov for more information and to download the required forms.
