This is a reminder that the deadline for timber harvesters and haulers to apply for pandemic assistance through the PATHH program is fast approaching on Oct. 15.
Pandemic Assistance for Timber Harvesters and Haulers Program (PATHH). PATHH, a part of USDA’s Pandemic Assistance for Producers initiative, will provide up to $200 million in financial relief to timber harvesting and timber hauling businesses that experienced losses in 2020 due to COVID-19. Signup for PATHH began late July and continues through Oct. 15, 2021.
Total payment will be up to $125K.
Payment Protection Program funds and sale of equipment are NOT included in the gross revenue to determine eligibility. (Rationale: FSA recognizes that businesses severely impacted by the pandemic had to sell off equipment to stay afloat and it would not be appropriate to penalize them for that since this program is designed to assist those impacted financially by the pandemic).
Application is EASY! FSA is at the ready to assist in person, phone, email, etc.
