CDFA’s Drought Resources web page stands as a valuable tool for farmers and ranchers seeking information about drought assistance programs.

The page features links to the USDA’s Farm Services Agency and contact information for other USDA offices that could be of assistance to farmers and ranchers harmed by the drought. 

USDA Offers Drought Impacted CA Farmers and Ranchers Immediate Disaster Assistance
On March 5, 2021 USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack declared California’s 58 counties as a primary natural disaster area due to recent drought. This Secretarial disaster declaration allows for farm operations in impacted counties to be eligible for certain assistance available through the USDA Farm Service Agency.

Information will be added and updated as it becomes available.
