Agricultural Management Assistance Program
In United States federal agriculture legislation, the Agricultural Management Assistance Program was authorized in the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 and permanently authorized and amended in the 2002 farm bill to provide mandatory funding of $20 million annually from FY2003 through FY 2007 and $10 million in all other years. Participants in 15 designated states, primarily in the northeast, that had been under-served by crop insurance are to receive financial assistance, not to exceed $50,000 per year, to help pay to install conservation practices and take other specified actions that will reduce their financial risk.
