Emergency Grain Storage Facility Assistance Program

Objective

The Emergency Grain Storage Facility Assistance Program (EGSFP) will provide assistance to producers affected by: tornadoes that passed through Kentucky in December 2021; derechos, floods, hurricanes, and winter storms that swept through Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Tennessee in 2022. EGSFP will help impacted producers who are currently struggling with a lack of available grain storage and resources needed to properly store their grain crop. Producers in eligible areas will receive direct payments to assist with marketing and storage disruptions. EGSFP will provide a cost-share payment to assist grain producers with building new or used on-farm grain storage capacity and purchase drying and handling equipment.
