2011 ELAP Loss Requirements Deadline Reminder
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- August 16, 2011 -- Steven Maurer, State Executive Director for Ohio's Farm Service Agency (FSA), would like to remind producers who lose livestock, honeybees, farm-raised fish, or harvested and purchased feed due to adverse weather before October 1, 2011, can sign-up for the USDA FSA Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP) by filing a notice of loss by the earlier of 30 days of the loss occurring on or before October 31, 2011. Producers must submit an application for payment no later than January 30, 2012.
Producers with livestock, honeybee, or farm-raised fish losses that are not covered by the Livestock Indemnity Program, Livestock Feed Program, or the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program may be eligible for ELAP. Honeybee losses due to colony collapse disorder (CCD) are also eligible.
Eligibility provisions for ELAP also include honeybee and farm-raised fish producers, who did not replace their losses from natural disaster, to be eligible for ELAP payments based on the fair market value of the losses. In addition, documentation requirements of losses for honeybee producers who suffered losses due to CCD, allow documentation by an independent third party for losses for 2011.
ELAP applicants are eligible for:
payments based on 60 percent of the average fair market value, as determined by FSA, of: lost farm-raised bait or game fish; honeybees in excess of normal honeybee mortality, as established by FSA; purchased or harvested feed lost.
The payment rates, established by FSA, for 2011 honeybee colonies and hives are based on the average fair market values of honeybee colonies and/or hives. FSA has established the following average fair market values for 2011 honeybee losses:
$70 per honeybee colony; $200 per honeybee hive.
Feed loss payments are 60 percent of the cost of purchased or harvested feed stuff and grazing losses are 60 percent of value, as determined by FSA.
To qualify for the ELAP, producers must meet the risk management purchase requirement by either obtaining a policy or plan of insurance, under the Federal Crop Insurance Act or Non Insured Crop Assistance Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) coverage.
Producers who have questions regarding Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program eligibility and the application process should contact their local FSA office.
