How to request reimbursement

To request reimbursement, a producer must first apply and be approved for the requested program. Once approved, they will receive an approval notification, followed by a reimbursement packet. The reimbursement packet will contain paperwork allowing the approved applicant to submit their reimbursement request.

Things to remember

Receipts dated prior to October 1, 2024 are not eligible.
Receipts for in-kind services are not eligible (trade-in value is not eligible).
Used or leased equipment or used materials are not eligible for cost share reimbursement unless otherwise noted.
Labor provided by applicant is not eligible for cost share reimbursement. Labor of any type is not eligible under Livestock Equipment.
Applicant cannot be reimbursed for purchases from a business where applicant participates in ownership (producer cooperatives excluded).
Applicants cannot combine projects and submit more than one reimbursement for the same item.
Reimbursement documentation must be postmarked or hand delivered by the deadline. Additional processing time is required for incomplete requests and requests submitted within one month of the program deadline. It is recommended you submit your request as soon as the project is complete.
There can only be one reimbursement payment per program approval. Projects must be completed by reimbursement deadline.
Falsifying applications, invoices or other documents submitted to TDA may make producer and farm ineligible to participate in present and/or future TDA programs, and may result in civil litigation or criminal prosecution.
