Register Now for Agriculture Relief

The registration period is open for the non-dairy, agriculture portion of the New Hampshire Agriculture COVID-19 Relief Program. This program is available to NH specialty crop producers that had at least $50,000 in gross sales for the calendar year 2019 and suffered COVID-19-related losses. The NH Department of Agriculture, Markets & Food administers this program.
 
Governor Chris Sununu authorized $1.5 million from the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support specialty crop producers, including fruit, vegetable, and ornamental plant growers, and maple producers, affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The registration information will be used by Agriculture to determine eligibility and further allocate the $1.5 million between crops and/or quarterly periods.
 
The registration form is a mandatory prerequisite to later apply for relief funding under this program. If a producer does not complete the online registration form in time, they cannot apply for relief.

The registration period is through June 22, and the registration form is available at https://nhpublichealth.force.com/nhgoferr/Proposal_Core_Listing_Page.
