[](https://landmark. usda. gov/fba) USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) is providing $11 billion through a one-time bridge payment to American farmers with an additional $1 billion available for additional commodities.
This assistance provides producers with a bridge until the benefits of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) are available. These bridge payments are authorized under the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act. Pre-filled FBA applications will be available to producers who timely filed their 2025 crop acreage report for eligible commodities.
Producers who have a secure Login. gov account can access and submit their pre-filled application online as well as track their application and payment status. Login.

### Apply at your Local FSA Office In addition to applying online, producers can also request their pre-filled FBA application from their FSA county office.
Completed FBA applications can be returned to FSA county offices by one of the following methods: * Electronically using Box and One-span ### Application Requirements Producers must have the following forms on file with FSA for the 2025 crop year: * Form AD-2047, Customer Data Worksheet * Form CCC-901, Member Information for Legal Entities (if applicable) * Form CCC-902I (if applicable), Farm Operating Plan for an Individual * Form CCC-902E (if applicable), Farm Operating Plan for an entity * Form CCC-941, Average Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) Certification and Consent to Disclosure of Tax Information * AD-1026, Highly Erodible Land Conservation (HELC) and Wetland Conservation (WC) Certification * SF-3881, ACH Vendor/ Miscellaneous Payment Enrollment Form (Direct Deposit) Most producers, especially those who have previously participated in FSA programs, will likely have these forms on file.
However, those who are uncertain and want to confirm the status of their forms, can contact their local FSA county office. Producers have until April 17, 2026, to submit their completed application. Only one application is required for all FBA eligible commodities nationwide.
### FBA Payments and Calculator Payments will be issued as applications are approved and will be calculated using a flat payment rate for the eligible commodity multiplied by the eligible reported acres. There will not be a payment factor. Payments are based on acreage and not production.
An FBA payment calculator is available to help eligible producers estimate payments. To be eligible, producers must meet the following requirements: * Be actively engaged in farming. * Have risk and interest in the eligible planted commodity.
* Report eligible acres for the 2025 crop year by 5 p. m. ET on Dec.
19, 2025 The following commodities are eligible for FBA: Barley, Chickpeas, Corn, Cotton, Lentils, Oats, Peanuts, Peas, Rice, Sorghum, Soybeans, Wheat, Canola, Crambe, Flax, Mustard, Rapeseed, Safflower, Sesame, and Sunflower. All intended uses for FBA eligible commodities are eligible excluding grazing, experimental, green manure, left standing, or cover crops.
Below are the payment rates for the FBA eligible commodities that triggered a payment. Crambe had no reported crop acres in 2025 and rapeseed did not trigger an eligible loss. The remaining $1 billion of the $12 billion in bridge payments will be reserved for commodities not covered in the FBA program.
To learn more, read the Feb. 13, 2026 announcement about the new Assistance for Specialty Crop Farmers (ASCF) Program. Anyone interested in providing data showing economic impacts due to increased input costs or trade disruptions for commodities not named under this assistance can share information via email atfarmerbridge@usda.
gov **Feb. 23 – April 17, 2026 –**FBA enrollment period **Feb. 28, 2026 -** Producers who qualify for FBA assistance can expect FSA to start issuing payments FBA payments will be based on 2025 reported acres, Economic Research Service cost of production, and the World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimate Report.
Double crop acres, including all initial and subsequently planted crops, are eligible. Prevent plant acres are not eligible. The FBA payment limit is $155,000 per producer.
The average adjusted gross income (AGI) limitation relating to limits on payments for persons or legal entities, excluding joint ventures and general partnerships, with certain levels of AGI apply. Specifically, a person or legal entity with an AGI (as defined in 7 CFR Part 1400) that exceeds $900,000 is not eligible to receive FBA payments.
Crop insurance linkage is not required; however, USDA strongly urges producers to take advantage of the new OBBBA risk management tools to best protect against future price risk and volatility.

The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking launched its AI Gigafactories call on 30 July 2026 as a joint procurement, not a conventional research grant, and that distinction shapes who should respond. It seeks consortia or Special Purpose Vehicles bringing together companies, public entities, investors and other partners to establish up to seven AI Gigafactories across Europe - facilities that combine massive computing power and state-of-the-art AI processors with the software and cloud technology stacks, high-bandwidth connectivity and energy-efficient data centres needed to deliver frontier AI training, fine-tuning and inference at scale. This is the tier above the 19 AI Factories and 13 AI Factory Antennas EuroHPC already oversees, which serve SMEs and startups with free customised support; the Gigafactories are aimed at frontier-scale sovereign capacity. The financing model is blended: EuroHPC expects total private investment of more than EUR 20,000,000,000 across the EU, with successful projects receiving varying levels of EU and national co-funding calibrated to the size and range of sovereign services offered. Per-facility EU contributions have deliberately not been published, so applicants must build their own capital stack and negotiate co-funding rather than apply against a fixed grant envelope. Facilities may be established in a single Member State or span several, and cross-border developments are explicitly welcomed. The reference is EUROHPC-2026-CEI-AIGF-01 and the deadline is 12 November 2026 at 16:00 CET. Realistically this is a call for infrastructure-grade consortia with credible access to billions in capital, energy siting and hyperscale operations experience - not for individual research groups or early-stage startups, who should instead route through the existing AI Factories network.
HMGCC Co-Creation and Dstl are seeking an edge device that processes video and audio from off-the-shelf smart glasses and stitches frames into high-fidelity 3D maps for reconnaissance. The minimum deliverable is a TRL 4 proof of concept. AI, computer vision and machine learning are listed technology themes, for example algorithms that compensate for head movement while stitching frames. Essential requirements are a report on where smart-glasses data flows and who can access it, good daytime urban imagery, and a camera-based 3D map. Desirable features include low-light imaging, audio fusion, testing across several manufacturers and a three-year manufacturer roadmap, and the stretch goal is fusing audio and visual data to handle reflections and solid walls. Redesigning or physically modifying the glasses is out of scope, and data handling must comply with GDPR and manufacturer terms. The total budget is up to £60,000, about US$80,000, excluding VAT, with on average two providers funded for a 12-week project. Questions are due 29 October, pitch day is 25 November, and kick-off is targeted for January 2027. Applications close on 12 November 2026 at 17:00 UK time.
