This application is to participate in the WHIP Milk Loss Program and is entered into between the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) and the undersigned producers identified in the dairy operation identified above. The undersigned producer or producers may hereafter collectively be referred to as “the Participant”. The participant certifies that all the information entered on this application is true and correct and that the participant was a producer of whole milk that was removed from the commercial market due to transportation limitations due hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, typhoons, volcanic activity, snowstorms, and wildfires occurring in calendar years 2018 and 2019. The participant further certifies to the accuracy of the removal and reinstatement dates identified above and agrees that such information will be used by CCC to calculate the payment amount. The participant hereby applies for payment to the extent that the County FSA Committee determines the participant is eligible to receive payment and understands that payment of indemnity claims will be contingent upon the availability of funds to the U.S. Department of Agriculture to pay such claims. In addition, the participant understands that, if necessary, their dairy operation may be required to provide any information that may be required to determine program eligibility and loss production, to the satisfaction of the County FSA Committee. The participant further understands that this program is subject to the rules found in 7 CFR Part 760, Subpart A, and understands that this application must be received no later than the deadline date established by CCC. The participant understands that they can be denied payments based on any inaccuracy in this certification and application and that the payment issued to the dairy operation may be reduced by the percentage of interest of an ineligible member’s actual share of the entity and not their share of the production.

Providing a false certification to the Government is punishable by imprisonment, fines, or other penalties. All information provided herein is subject to verification by CCC.
