Webinar explains SDRP stage two details for crop insurance agents
The United States Department of Agriculture is inviting crop insurance agents to join an online webinar that will explain the Supplemental Disaster Relief Program, known as SDRP, Stage Two. This program is part of USDA’s ongoing work to support producers who face losses from natural disasters. The event is designed to help crop insurance professionals understand the program, its purpose, and how agents can guide farmers who may benefit from it.
The webinar will be hosted by the Risk Management Agency, also called RMA, along with the Farm Service Agency. These two branches of USDA work together to support farmers by offering financial protection, educational tools, and risk-management programs that reduce the impact of unpredictable weather events. During the session, speakers will explain how SDRP Stage Two works and why it is an important resource for producers dealing with crop losses.
Crop insurance agents who attend will receive an overview of eligibility requirements, program goals, and the steps farmers must follow to participate. The session will also highlight how SDRP Stage Two builds on earlier phases of disaster assistance and how it connects with existing crop insurance policies. This information will help agents provide clear guidance to farmers during challenging times.
The online format makes the webinar easy to attend for professionals across the country. It will take place on Thursday, December 4, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. EST. Because many crop insurance agents have busy schedules, USDA will also record the meeting. Anyone who cannot join live will be able to watch it later at their convenience.
