Urgent Risk
and Crop Management Information!
The
SUpplemental REvenue Assistance program (SURE) in the 2008 farm bill provides
benefits for total farm crop revenue losses due to natural disasters. SURE
replaces the Ad Hoc Crop Disaster Programs. Producers with qualifying losses
are eligible to receive 60% of the difference between the SURE disaster program
guarantee and the actual farm crop revenue. In order for a producer to be
eligible for the SURE program, all crops grown that could earn more than
5% of the expected total farm crop revenue must be covered by federal crop
insurance or FSA’s Non-insurable Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP).
The deadline for insuring all perennial forage crops and wheat is September
30, 2009 and November 20, 2009 for perennial fruit crops. Information on
SURE is available from FSA and MSU Extension offices and online at https://www.msu.edu/~betz/.
Information
on managing and marketing immature or wet corn is available online at http://www.ipm.msu.edu/catfield/harvestAlert/harvest.htm.
Producers can also request the information by calling their MSU County
Extension office or 888-678-3464 (1-888-MSUE-4MI)
