Visit farmers.gov to apply for CFAP2 payments.
To complete the CFAP 2 application, producers will need to reference their sales, inventory, and other records. However, since CFAP 2 is a self-certification program, this documentation will not need to be submitted with the application. Because applications are subject to County Committee review and spot check, some producers will be required to provide documentation. Producers should retain the records and documentation they use to complete the application. Visit farmers.gov to check eligibility and find commodity payment rates.

In CFAP1, there are 651,099 approved applications for $10.4 billion.
The majority of funds have gone to cattle producers, with $4.3 million. Corn growers are second, with $1.7 million in payments. Milk producers are third, with $1.76 million in payments.
Iowa is also the top statement for CFAP1 payments.
