USDA targets Philippines for ag export growth in April mission

Feedstuffs

USDA Farmer Bridge sign-ups are strong with farmers using the aid for inputs—check if you've applied yet, as this window may close. Meanwhile, watch today's USDA crop data release; corn's near two-week lows and could swing your input costs either direction.

Auctions

Four major livestock auctions hit the block March 31st across the country—Shelby NC, St. Marys KS, Exeter MO, and Aberdeen SD. If you're selling cattle or hogs, get your animals listed today; bidders set their strategies early for regional sales this size.

Grants & Funding

No working farmer grants in this batch—these are for utilities, nonprofits, tribes, and vets. Community Facilities may help indirectly if your township needs water or facility repairs (up to 75% covered), but you'd need a public body or nonprofit to apply. Check if your local cooperative or county qualifies and might benefit your operation.

Recent USDA Awards

Lincoln County just pulled $191M for watershed work—largest payout moving now. Boll weevil programs ($8M) and wildfire defense grants ($8.7M) are actively funding. Check your county's USDA office today to see if you qualify for any of these before deadlines shift.

Subsidy Payments

$16.2 billion flowed to farmers nationally last year, with top counties in Iowa, Illinois, and Minnesota taking the lion's share. Check what your county pulled in—odds are you're leaving money on the table if you haven't reviewed all your program eligibility.

Drought Status

54% of continental U.S. in moderate to severe drought right now. If your county's hit hard, you may qualify for USDA LFP payments or need to file crop insurance claims before deadlines slip. Pull up the drought monitor map today and cross-check your acreage against your county's classification—eligibility windows don't stay open long.
