  • Ag Matters: USDA/FSA Reimbursement Transportation Cost Payment Program
    Aug 26 2026

    Join host Mike Chmielewski and his guest, Chris Dickinson with the United States Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency. Listen in as they discuss the agency’s RTCP program. The Reimbursement Transportation Cost Payment (RTCP) for Geographically Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers, administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA), provides payments to producers in areas with high transportation costs. These areas include Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and other insular areas. The program reimburses eligible producers for a portion of the transportation costs incurred when moving agricultural commodities and inputs, helping to level the playing field and support the economic viability of farming and ranching operations in these remote regions.
