Farm Service Agency officials are reminding farmers the deadline is Tuesday to sign up for Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) coverage and crop insurance on most spring-seeded crops.
NAP is designed to cover losses due to damaging weather conditions.
The program covers losses of more than 50 percent of normal yields or the farm's yield calculated using actual production histories.
The cost per policy is $250 per crop per producer, with a $750 cap per county. NAP coverage begins 30 days after the application is filed and the $250 administrative fee has been paid.
Producers are encouraged to contact the Jefferson/Washington County FSA office to obtain NAP coverage or for additional information call (636) 789-2441 or visit the FSA Web site at www.fsa.usda.gov.
