Farm Service Issues Failed Wheat Crop Directive

Farm Service Agency offices across the nation have received guidance on how to handle producer claims of a failed wheat crop under the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program. The guidance goes something like this. The producer obtained crop insurance for his wheat crop. It failed and the deadline for NAP coverage on a second crop has passed. In almost all cases, it appears USDA will grant a release on those wheat acres, allow the farmer to pay a $250 fee and have that second crop come under the umbrella of the SURE program if it becomes relevant at the end of the crop year.
