An eligible producer is a landowner, tenant or sharecropper who shares in the risk of producing an eligible crop. The annual gross revenue of the eligible producer, and any individual or entity combined as one "person" with the eligible producer, cannot exceed $2 million. To be eligible for NAP assistance, crops must be noninsurable crops and agricultural commodities for which catastrophic risk protection level of crop insurance is not available. The crops for Early County are wheat, oats and rye for grazing, pasture and hay crops. An eligible natural disaster is any of the following: • damaging weather, such as drought, freeze, hail, excessive moisture, excessive wind or hurricanes; • an adverse natural occurrence, such as an earthquake or flood; or • a condition related to damaging weather or an adverse natural occurrence, such as excessive heat, disease or insect infestation. The natural disaster must occur before or during harvest and must directly affect the eligible crop. Eligible producers must apply for coverage of noninsurable crops and pay the applicable service fees at their local FSA office. The application and service fees must be filed by the application closing date which is August 15, 2007. The service fee is the lesser of $100 per crop or $300 per producer per administrative county, not to exceed a total of $900 per producer with farming interest in multiple counties. To remain eligible for NAP assistance, the producer must annually report the crop and provide production information. Failure to report acreage and production information may result in reduced or zero NAP assistance.
Further information on NAP is available from your local FSA office on FSA's website at: www.fsa.usda. gov.
