I started this page because farmers keep asking about the Farmer Bridge Assistance Program, and I needed to know if it was real. After checking every official URL tied to FBA - USDA press releases, Federal Register filings, the FSA program page - none of them resolve to a live record[1]. That does not mean no relief exists for row crop producers. It means the exact program name and details making the rounds online cannot be tied to current government records. If you are wondering whether you qualify, the eligibility checker below uses criteria cited in circulating materials, but treat every answer as provisional until your local FSA office confirms your status. This page gives you a way to assess fit, then routes you to verified next steps without wasting time on dead links.

What the eligibility checker actually tests

The questions below reflect criteria mentioned in unverified FBA materials: whether you filed a 2025 acreage report, your average AGI, your engagement in farming, and whether your acres were planted to eligible commodities. Each question includes a confidence marker because the sources themselves cannot be confirmed. If a question feels relevant to your situation, answer it. If the checker suggests you may qualify, the next step is not to hunt for an FBA portal. It is to call your county FSA office with your answers in hand.

When the checker says you might not qualify

A "not eligible" result here does not mean you cannot access USDA relief. It means the unverified FBA criteria do not match your profile. Many producers who hear about "bridge payments" actually qualify for the Emergency Relief Program, Emergency Commodity Assistance, or specialty crop initiatives with live application portals. Your Grantaura assessment can help match your operation to verified programs that fit your acreage, income, and crop mix. Your Grant Assessment fee is non-refundable, but the base assessment fee can be deducted once toward the same grant's Full Application when you choose the optional checkbox at checkout.

If your answers suggest you may qualify for row crop assistance, to match your profile against verified USDA programs. If you are unsure about any eligibility question, before contacting FSA.
