Farm Service Agency Administrator, Keith Kelly, announced that sign-up for assistance under the new Crop Loss Disaster Assistance Program will continue for one additional week though April 16,
“Adding one final week to the sign-up will not affect the timing of payments under the program,” said Kelly. “We’re doing this because we had such a high volume of applications and because we made some changes recently broadening eligibility for the multiyear loss assistance portion of the program.”
More than $2 billion was authorized by the Congress to reimburse farmers hit by natural disasters who suffered losses in 1998 or in at least three years from 1994 to 1998.
Kelly urged interested farmers to contact their local USDA Service Center or Farm Service Agency local office.
