County producers urged to consider risk protection coverage before March 15

Posted

Warren County USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director Priscilla Eggering reminds producers to review available crop risk protection options, including federal crop insurance and Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) coverage, before the deadline of March 15.This deadline applies to forage and pasture, as well as spring-seeded crops, including most produce.NAP covers losses from natural disasters on crops for which no permanent federal crop insurance program is available, including forage and grazing crops, fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, floriculture, ornamental nursery, aquaculture, turf grass, ginseng, honey, syrup, bioenergy, and industrial crops.For all coverage levels, the NAP service fee is the lesser of $250 per crop or $750 per producer per administrative county, not to exceed a total of $1,875 for a producer with farming interests in multiple counties. There is an additional premium for additional levels of coverage. Beginning, underserved and limited resource farmers are now eligible for free catastrophic level coverage, as well as discounted premiums for additional levels of protection.USDA / FSA
