This information will be used to
determine program eligibility for the 2008 Supplemental
Agricultural Disaster Assistance programs. Respondents will consist
of producers who did not purchase 2008 crop insurance or NAP
coverage on all eligible crops.
The Farm Service Agency
has been tasked by the Secretary of Agriculture with implementing
the Supplemental Agricultural Disaster Assistance Programs of the
2008 Farm Bill. The 2008 Farm Bill allows producers 90 days from
enactment to pay a "buy-in fee" at their administrative county FSA
Office. The 90 day deadline ends August 20, 2008.

The Food, Conservation, and
Energy Act of 2008 requires a producer to purchase crop insurance
or NAP on all crops to be eligible for Supplemental Agricultural
Disaster Assistance Programs. The NAP and RMA application deadlines
for coverage have already passed; therefore, a waiver has been
authorized to allow those producers who did not purchase this
coverage to participate in the Supplemental Agricultural Disaster
Assistance Programs.
