For immediate release
DEADLINE TO APPLY FOR 2009 DISASTER BENEFITS IS JULY 29
HURON, SD, July 22, 2011 - USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) State Executive Director Craig Schaunaman announced that the deadline to apply for assistance for 2009 crop losses under the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program is July 29, 2011.
"The SURE program compensates producers for production and/or quality losses during times of disaster," said Schaunaman. "All producers who experienced crop production and/or crop quality losses must apply for SURE program benefits by the July 29th deadline," he said.
To meet program eligibility requirements, the farming operation must be physically located in a county that was declared a primary or contiguous disaster county by the Secretary of Agriculture under a 2009 Secretarial Disaster Designation.
Producers located in designated disaster counties must have suffered at least a 10 percent loss on a crop of economic significance and purchased crop insurance through the Federal Crop Insurance Act or the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP).
However, an operation not located in a county that did not receive a primary or contiguous disaster designation, can still qualify for SURE benefits if the actual farm production was less than 50 percent of the normal production on the farm due to the a qualifying disaster event.
For information regarding SURE or any other FSA program, please contact your local FSA office or on the web at http://www.fsa.usda.gov.
