Oklahoma FSA Announces SURE 2010 Crop Disaster Program Signup Begin Nov. 14
Tue, 25 Oct 2011 13:33:54 CDT
Francie Tolle, executive director for Oklahoma Farm Service Agency (FSA), announced that enrollment for 2010 crop losses under the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program will begin Nov. 14, 2011 and end on June 1, 2012.
"Eligible producers who suffered crop losses during the 2010 crop year are encouraged to visit their county FSA office after signup begins on Nov. 14 to learn more about the SURE crop disaster program and how to apply," said Tolle.
SURE is available to eligible producers on farms in counties with Secretarial disaster declarations, including contiguous counties, if the producer has incurred at least a 10 percent crop production or quality loss on a crop of economic significance, excluding grazed crops. If the producer does not farm in a county with a Secretarial disaster declaration, SURE is available for the crop year if the actual production on the farm, because of disaster-related conditions, is 50 percent or less than normal production of the farm considering all crops grown nationwide by the producer.
Although farmers may be able to sign up for the SURE program in November, the SURE payments may not be issued until sometime later because the 2010 National Average Market Price (NAMP) data may not be available for all crops. The NAMP prices are intended to reflect the actual marketing value of a crop during the marketing year and the marketing year for some crops will not end until the beginning of 2012.
