FSA Non-Insured Assistance Program Reporting Requirements Reminder

(MADISON, WISCONSIN), July 11, 2011 – The Wisconsin Farm Service Agency (FSA) reminds producers that they must meet the Non-insured Assistance Program (NAP) requirements prior to receiving program benefits.

It is important that producers report NAP crop losses within 15 days of the date damage occurred or 15 days from the date damage is apparent. Losses to crops need to be reported after each occurrence of damage and in a timely manner to insure continued eligibility for benefits.

NAP coverage is only available for crops where coverage is not available under the Federal Crop Insurance Program. The NAP program is designed to cover catastrophic losses due to damaging weather conditions. The program covers losses in excess of a 50 percent loss of the producer’s established yield. Qualifying losses eligible for payment are paid at 55 percent of the established value of the crop.

Producers are encouraged to contact their local FSA office to find out what forms of production evidence are acceptable and to obtain additional information regarding NAP. Failure to comply with the requirements mentioned above could result in a loss or reduction in program benefits.
