Kentucky Approved for Date Extension on Reporting Prevented Planting to FSA

Lexington, KY, June 6, 2011- Due to Kentucky’s weather creating delays in planting, the Kentucky Farm Service Agency is extending the 2011 date to report prevented planting for all crops except small grains to July 15, to coincide with the crop reporting deadline. Normally, producers are required to file this notification on prevented planting with their FSA office within 15 days of the respective crop's final planting date.

"This prevented planting reporting requirement applies to all crops except small grains, whether covered by crop insurance, not covered by crop insurance, or covered by FSA's Non-insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP)," said State Executive Director John McCauley.

Reporting to FSA could impact future FSA program benefits. In addition, federal crop insurance policy holders are reminded to notify their crop insurance companies of the planting conditions so they are aware of prevented planting.

Prevented planted acreage claims filed (Form CCC-576) by July 15, 2011, will be considered as timely filed, except for small grains. It is important that the CCC-576 form be timely filed and approved for a possible 2011 crop disaster Supplemental Revenue Payments Assistance Program (SURE) or for acreage history credit. Approved prevented planted acreage may also be eligible for ACRE Payments.

If a request for prevented planting is filed after the July 15, 2011, a late filed fee will be required and will have to have an on-site inspection completed to determine that the natural disaster condition was evident.

For more information on prevented planting acreage contact your local FSA Service Center.
