7.16.25 SDRP Tredas Takeaway

USDA Representatives hosted an educational seminar regarding SDRP. Here are our takeaways as of 7/16.

You will be getting a pre-filled app in the mail if you had a MPCI loss in 2023 or 2024. If you don't get pre-filled app, you still might qualify for Phase 2 to be announced later. 

Amount on the app is the SDRP gross payment expected. Has nothing to do with your crop ins indemnity. First round will be only be payed out on 35% of that number.

The shares that you list on the SDRP app are related to the SBI's of an entity. It has nothing to do with your share of acres on your crop insurance policy. That math is already applied to the number in the box. 

"Cause of loss" has to be in whole or in part due to a QUALIFYING EVENT. It won't be "drought" unless they were >D2 for 8+ weeks.  (Use drought monitor to check)

 Please note hail/wind is not included unless it was part of a "qualifying" derecho or other event. 

The "qualifying event" has to be the cause "IN WHOLE OR IN PART" to the loss in production. So if you think you lost 1 bushel to excessive heat, and you can show that the heat in your area was excessive, that would be your qualifying event. 

The "SDRP Factor" ranges from 75-95% and is higher the higher the MPCI level you take. If you took 85% MPCI, your SDRP factor is 95%. 

If looks like you will have more than the 125k payment limit, fill out FSA-510 to increase payment limit if 75% of your AGI is from farming. 

Payment limit is still 125k, not the new 155k introduced by the BBB. 

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.
