Generally, that means that farmers who have lost at least 30 percent
of their production or suffered any physical loss due to these losses
listed on these declarations during the time period are eligible for FSA
loans. Proceeds from crop insurance and/or hazard insurance are taken
into consideration when determining a producer's eligibility and total
loss.
Cody Norris, Brown County FSA, urges farmers who are interested in
receiving an emergency loan to submit their applications into FSA as
soon as possible. It is hoped farmers will get their applications in
early rather than waiting until near the deadline. The longer farmers
wait, the more chance there are for long delays. If the applications
come in early, backlogs can be avoided and the process can be speeded
up. Contact the Brown County FSA Office at 325-643-1587 for more
information.
