USDA Approved Pro-Cal for Payment Assistance
The American Relief Act of 2025 has ushered in a wave of optimism for farmers across the nation by extending the 2018 Farm Bill through September 30, 2025. This extension ensures the continued availability of crucial programs and funding to counter economic challenges, provide disaster relief, and support agricultural innovation. Among the key developments, the USDA approved Pro-Cal for payment assistance under this program! So, now is the time to take advantage of AgriTec’s liquid calcium, Pro-Cal, to benefit your fields with these changes.
What’s in the American Relief Act of 2025?
Passed just in time to avoid a government shutdown on December 21, 2024, the American Relief Act of 2025 represents a critical lifeline for agriculture. The act allocates significant funding to support farmers and ranchers:
- $9.8 billion for market relief: This provision aims to counter rising input costs and falling commodity prices, helping stabilize farm incomes during volatile times.
- $31 billion for disaster aid: This allocation addresses both natural disasters and economic challenges, providing much-needed relief to those affected by unforeseen events.
- Extension of the 2018 Farm Bill: The extension delays potentially catastrophic effects, such as the “Dairy Cliff,” and ensures continued support for key programs that farmers depend on.
Why The Farm Bill Extension Matters
The 2018 Farm Bill’s expiration in September 2024 posed significant risks for the agriculture sector. Without an extension, outdated “permanent laws” from the 1930s would have triggered sharp price increases for dairy and other commodities in 2025. This could have disrupted markets and strained consumers and producers alike.
The current extension provides Congress until September 30, 2025, to negotiate and pass a new farm bill. While this offers temporary relief, it’s worth noting that the extension does not include funding for “orphan programs” without baseline funding, such as the Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program and Emergency Citrus Disease Research. Despite this limitation, the extension is a critical step in maintaining stability for the agricultural sector.
USDA Approval of Pro-Cal
One of the most exciting developments under the American Relief Act of 2025 is the USDA’s approval of Pro-Cal as a qualifying product for payment assistance. This bio-activated liquid calcium product, developed by AgriTec International, offers a range of benefits:
- Boosts soil pH: Pro-Cal neutralizes acidic soils, creating a more balanced environment for plant growth.
- Improves crop health: By enhancing nutrient availability, Pro-Cal helps crops thrive and resist stress.
- Increases yields: Farmers using Pro-Cal have reported significant improvements in crop productivity, translating to higher profitability.
How Payment Assistance Works
The USDA’s payment assistance program under the American Relief Act makes it easier for farmers to access Pro-Cal and reap its benefits. Here’s how it works:
- Eligibility: Farmers can qualify for assistance by participating in USDA-supported programs designed to enhance soil health and sustainability.
- Cost-sharing: The program covers a portion of the cost of Pro-Cal, reducing the financial burden on farmers.
- Application process: Farmers can apply for payment assistance through their local USDA office or by contacting AgriTec International directly for guidance.
Why Pro-Cal?
Liquid calcium solutions like Pro-Cal represent a modern approach to soil management, offering advantages over traditional agricultural lime:
- Faster results: Unlike ag-lime, which can take months to break down, Pro-Cal begins working almost immediately.
- Ease of application: Pro-Cal is simple to apply and integrates seamlessly with existing farming practices.
- Eco-friendly: By improving nutrient uptake and reducing waste, Pro-Cal promotes sustainable farming.
Farmers Helped By Pro-Cal
Farmers across the country are already experiencing the benefits of Pro-Cal. Here’s what a few of them had to say:
- Kenneth S. (2022): “I’ve had this place for over 20 years. I have wasted so much money on fertilizer over the years and my fields have never looked this good. I put Pro-Cal on 2 years ago and it cleaned up my weeds. I produce more hay than ever, I just can’t say enough about this product.”
- Richard M. (2021): “I applied Pro-Cal last year to some hay ground and some corn ground. We did before and after soil tests and the pH balanced out and it made great hay and now this year I can see exactly where I sprayed and where I didn’t. I’m not going to lie to you, I thought this stuff wouldn’t work, but I was wrong, it worked great! Crazy to think this did the same as 2 tons of lime with so much less.”
- Brent H. (2020): “My horse customer can’t say enough good things about my hay that I used the Nitro-Maxx+ and Pro-Cal. It is so green the horses just love it. I sold out this year. One field that I couldn’t treat look bad and the hay wasn’t as good. I am reordering for all my fields.”
- Robin K. (2022): “I had my doubts when I purchased the Pro-Cal, but I am a believer now. I have never had my pastures look so good. Send me 2 drums this year.”
