PRODUCERS participating in the feed grain and wheat programs who plan to abandon crops planted on allotment acreage and damaged by natural disaster .should have the crops appraised before putting the land to other use, the U. S. Department of Agriculture cautions.
Under the Agriculture and Consumer Protection Act of 1973 a producer may qualify for a special feed grain or wheat payment when a natural disaster caused crop damage.
Department officials advise a producer whose allotment land is struck by a disaster to follow this procedure:
• Report the disaster damage to the county ASCS office.
• Before putting the crop or land to another use, have an ASCS official or his designated representative appraise the damage.
• After the appraisal is completed the acreage will be released by ASCS for other uses.
