Deadline Reminder for Non-insurable Crop Disaster Assistance (NAP) Program
Producers of certain fall planting crops wanting to obtain Farm Service Agency (FSA) Noninsurable Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) policies must do so before Wednesday, August 31, 2011.
The NAP provides financial assistance to producers of crops not covered by crop insurance when low yields, loss of inventory or prevented planting occur due to weather-related disasters.
The following crops have a NAP application closing date of August 31, 2011: canola and rapeseed; onions, carrots and cabbage (for seed or fresh); value loss crops (aquaculture, Christmas trees, turf grass sod, floriculture, and mushrooms); artichokes and any fall planted crops not mentioned in any other closing date.
The application fee for coverage is $250 per crop, up to $750 per county. The maximum for multiple crops in more than one county is $1,875 per crop year.
Losses must be reported to FSA within 15 days after the adverse weather event or when the loss becomes evident. Producers may receive a payment if all eligibility requirements have been met and the crop suffers greater than a 50 percent production loss for weather-related damages.
Some basic program requirements include annual crop acreage reporting, providing actual production evidence on a yearly basis and obtaining a loss adjustor appraisal if the damaged crop will be destroyed or left unharvested.
The NAP is also a requirement for the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) Program and other FSA disaster programs. Late applications will not be accepted.
For more information, contact the Skagit-Island-San Juan County FSA office at 360-428-7758 X 2. There are several additional deadlines depending on crop type, and a schedule can be found at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/wa.
