The USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) will provide assistance to rice growers who experienced stagnant rice prices and record-high input costs during the 2022 crop year. This one-time payment will be made under the Rice Production Program (RPP).
The RPP payment is equal to the payment rate of $0.01 per pound multiplied by the individual average APH multiplied by the amount of certified rice acres in 2022.
