Please register for the Paycheck Protection Program webinar:

Live webinar + Q & A:  Monday, July 27, 12:00 pm to 1:15 pm CDT.

Take a Second Look at the Paycheck Protection Program: you might be eligible!   Most small businesses, including farms and ag businesses, DO meet eligibility requirements.

Two common agricultural scenarios that ARE ELIGIBLE for PPP:

• A sole proprietor without employees shows positive net income on either an IRS Schedule F or Schedule C from 2019.

• A farm or agricultural business with paid seasonal, part-time or full time employee(s). Often a 2019 IRS Form 943 is used to establish payroll costs.

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) has been extended. The new deadline to apply is August 8, 2020. The PPP application process has been improved and there is better information available now about eligibility.

Presenters from University of Minnesota Extension Ag Business Management, Farmers’ Legal Action Group, and Sustainable Farming Association will walk you through what eligibility looks like, the forms and steps to apply for PPP, and real-world experiences of applying from farmers who have done it.

This webinar is sponsored by Farmers' Legal Action Group, Minnesota Farmers’ Market Association, Minnesota Institute for Sustainable Agriculture, Sustainable Farming Association, University of Minnesota Extension, and Minnesota NCR-SARE.
