USDA's Farm Service Agency is providing $1.625 billion through a one-time bridge payment for specialty crops not covered through the previously announced Farmer Bridge Assistance program. The page lists online enrollment beginning June 1, 2026, county-office enrollment beginning June 8, 2026, an Aug. 7, 2026 application deadline, and an ASCF payment dashboard with weekly state payment stats.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official USDA/FSA program materials show specialty crop aid was implemented with specific access channels, deadline, and payment tracking. This supports that producers had timely access to the aid during Moolenaar's 2025-2026 House term.

The promised action was to keep working with USDA and Michigan producers for timely specialty crop aid access. During Moolenaar's 2025-2026 House term, his official House materials reported that he worked with the administration for months and secured specialty crop funding in the agriculture aid package. USDA/FSA then implemented the ASCF program with $1.625 billion in specialty crop payments, online enrollment beginning June 1, 2026, county-office enrollment beginning June 8, 2026, and payments beginning as applications were approved. That matches both the advocacy component and the timely-access outcome in the same federal term.
