A curated repost for Central Valley growers — the USDA MFP payment details for almonds, including the $146-per-acre total, eligibility, and application deadlines.
The USDA Market Facilitation Program (MFP) provides direct payments to growers of certain commodities, including almonds. For almonds, the program total is $146 per acre. This guide points growers to the key details that matter most: the payment amount, the eligibility requirements they must meet, and the application deadlines they need to watch so they don't miss the window.
For Central Valley almond operations, a per-acre USDA payment can add up quickly across a sizable orchard, so it is worth confirming eligibility and applying on time. Program rules, payment rates, and deadlines are set by the USDA and can change, which makes checking the official source before you file the right move. A few minutes confirming the details with USDA can keep money on the table from slipping away.
Custom Farm Services helps growers keep their operations running smoothly through leasing and management across Merced, Stanislaus, San Joaquin, and Madera counties — so you can stay focused on the bigger picture.
