Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments Sign Up Ends July 29, 2011

ALBUQUERQUE, NM - Salomon Ramirez, State Executive Director for the New Mexico USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA), today reminds producers that the 2009 crop year for Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program sign-up ends July 29, 2011. SURE is a disaster program that provides assistance to farmers and ranchers who have experienced crop losses caused by natural disasters.

"Natural disasters can turn what would be a profitable crop year into a year of hardship and financial loss," said Ramirez. "The SURE program is part of the ‘safety net’ that provides assistance to farmers and ranchers when disaster strikes," he said.

Producers considered socially disadvantaged, beginning farmer or rancher or a limited resource producer may be eligible for SURE without a policy or plan of insurance or NAP coverage.

Producers in qualifying counties are encouraged to contact their local FSA County Office to discuss program provisions. The majority of NM counties qualify for the 2009 SURE program.

For information on the 2009 SURE program eligibility requirements visit your local FSA office or http://www.fsa.usda.gov/sure.
