Specialty crop farmers received their $1 billion in payments by February 2026 alongside row crop farmers.

Question

Accepted Answer

USDA announced that details for the $1 billion reserved for specialty crops and sugar "are still under development and require additional understanding of market impacts and economic needs." There's no timeline for when specialty crop payments will be released, while row crop payments were scheduled for February 28, 2026. The Congressional Specialty Crop Caucus urged agricultural committees on December 18 to make the $1 billion available immediately, noting specialty crops account for more than one-third of all U.S. crop sales. The delay leaves fruit, vegetable, and nut farmers waiting while row crop producers get relief.
