Louisiana MFP Payment Rates Released; Parish Payments Range from $36 to $106 Per Acre

WASHINGTON D.C. – U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue today announced further details of the $16 billion package aimed at supporting American agricultural producers while the Administration continues to work on free, fair, and reciprocal trade deals.

In May, President Trump directed Secretary Perdue to craft a relief strategy in line with the estimated impacts of unjustified retaliatory tariffs on U.S. agricultural goods and other trade disruptions. The Market Facilitation Program (MFP), Food Purchase and Distribution Program (FPDP), and Agricultural Trade Promotion Program (ATP) will assist agricultural producers while President Trump works to address long-standing market access barriers.

MFP signup at local FSA offices will run from Monday, July 29 through Friday, December 6, 2019. Louisiana payment rates range from a low of $36 in East Feliciana to a high of $106 in East Carroll Parish.
