FSA announces Crop Disaster Program for quality losses, other program deadlinesKansas Bill R. Fuller, State Executive Director of the Kansas Farm Service Agency June 23 announced the Crop Disaster Program for quality losses in 2005, 2005 and 2007 crop years. FSA has been conducting sign-up since last fall for quantity losses for 2005-2007 crops. On June 23 sign-up started for quality losses on 2005-2007 crops. Producers with losses in 2005, 2006 or 2007 may only receive benefits for one of those years. Producers must have obtained crop insurance or coverage under the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program for the year of loss to be eligible for CDP. Producers must have suffered quality losses of at least 25 percent. The payment rate is 65 percent of the amount of the affected crop multiplied by 42 percent of the per-unit market value in the year in which the loss occurred. The acreage reporting deadline has been extended to Aug. 15 to certify spring seeded crops and CRP. NAP acreages must be certified by Aug. 15 or 15 days prior to the onset of harvest or grazing. Aug. 15 is also the final date to report NAP production for crop year 2007. Producers must report acreages to maintain eligibility for Price Support Programs, Noninsured Crop Assistance Program, Conservation Reserve Program, and Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program. Producers are also reminded that marketing assistance loans and loan deficiency payments are available on 2008-commodities. The CCC-633 EZ Page 1 must be completed before loosing beneficial interest in the commodity. Fuller also reminds producers that sign-up ends on July 18 for the Livestock Indemnity Program and Livestock Compensation Program for 2005-2007 losses. FSA accepts applications anytime for Farm Storage Facility Loans, Continuous CRP, Rural Youth Loans, and Direct or Guaranteed Operating or Farm Ownership Loans, including Beginning Farmer and Socially Disadvantaged. USDA Farm Service Agency has many programs that provide Kansas farmers and ranchers supplemental income to help with the many expenses of maintaining a crop or livestock operation. To apply for FSA benefits or certify acreages, contact the Farm Service Agency at your local USDA Service Center. 7/14/08 Date: 7/10/08
