Deadline Nearing For Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program
September 15, 2014 Fruit growers who may have suffered losses to bush or tree fruit crops due to frost or freeze during the 2012 crop year and did not have access to crop insurance have until Sept. 22 to enroll in the USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA)’s Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP).
NAP provides financial assistance to producers of non-insurable crops when low yields, loss of inventory, or prevented planting occur due to a natural disaster. Supplemental payments are provided to producers who were affected by weather damage or other adverse natural occurrences. Enrollment in the program opened July 22 and continues through Sept. 22.
A list of counties eligible can be found here. Contact your local FSA county office to see if you are eligible to apply.
