SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Extending Government Funding 

and Delivering Emergency Assistance 

Act, (Division B, Title I, Pub. L. 117–43) 

provides $10 billion for necessary 

expenses related to losses of crops 

(including milk, on-farm stored 

commodities, crops prevented from 

planting in 2020 and 2021, and 

harvested adulterated wine grapes), 

trees, bushes, and vines, as a 

consequence of droughts, wildfires, 

hurricanes, floods, derechos, excessive 

heat, winter storms, freeze, including a 

polar vortex, smoke exposure, quality 

losses of crops, and excessive moisture 

occurring in calendar years 2020 and 

2021. From the $10 billion, the 

Secretary of Agriculture is to use $750 

million to assist producers of livestock 

for losses incurred during calendar year 

2021 due to qualifying droughts or 

wildfires. The livestock producers who 

suffered losses due to drought are 

eligible for assistance if any area within 

the county in which the loss occurred 

was rated by the U.S. Drought Monitor 

as having a D2 (severe drought) for eight 

consecutive weeks or a D3 (extreme 

drought) or higher level of drought 

intensity during the applicable year.
