“Farmers and livestock producers nationwide experienced crop quality losses due to natural disasters in 2018 and 2019,” said South Dakota Farm Service Agency (FSA) Acting Executive Director Jamie White. “We have worked diligently over the past couple of years to roll out meaningful disaster assistance programs to help alleviate the substantial financial loss experienced by so many agricultural producers and are pleased to offer quality loss assistance as added relief. Many of the eligible producers have already received compensation for quantity losses.”
