The Agricultural Management Assistance (AMA) helps agricultural producers manage financial risk through diversification, marketing or natural resource conservation practices. NRCS administers the conservation provisions while Agricultural Marketing Service and Risk Management Agency implement the production diversification and marketing provisions.
Please Note: Starting a practice prior to written contract approval will result in the ineligibility of that practice for AMA assistance unless a waiver has been approved (see 440-CPM, Part 512, Subpart E).
