cover all crops that are not insurance coverable


The only thing that really bothers me about this program is proven yields.  They state: NAP payments may be issued to eligible producers when crop losses exceed 50% of the individual's approved yield.  If producers have not established an individual yield by providing FSA with the past years' production, the approved yield will be 65% of the average historic yield for the crop.  The payment rate is 55% of the historic average market price.  If you or anyone else is interested in this program you should be getting some type off yield records to the FSA office.  Even with accurate yield records this gets real sticky when you have a claim.  This office does very little for anyone without proven yield's.
