Lake County Farm Service Agency provides updates

USDA Lake County Farm Service Agency (FSA) is reminding producers of approaching application deadline for purchasing risk coverage for some crops through the Non-Insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP).NAP provides financial assistance to producers of non-insurable crops impacted by natural disasters that result in lower yields, crop losses, or prevented crop planting.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, floriculture, ornamental nursery, aquaculture, turf grass and more.The deadline for NAP coverage for perennial and all annually tilled crops (except for oats) in Lake county for the 2027 crop year is Nov. 30.NAP basic coverage is available at 55% of the average market price for crop losses that exceed 50% of expected production. Buy-up coverage is available in some cases.
