ASCS Disaster
Rules Explained
Under the disaster
provisions of ASCS Feed
Grain and Wheat Programs,
county ASCS personnel must
inspect and appraise the
damage done to the crop
prior to the awarding of
payments. “There were
some difficulties last year in
many areas of the country
when farmers plowed under
their damaged crops before
they notified the county
ASCS office,” Lancaster
County ASCS chairman, B.
Snavely Garber, said.
“When the inspector got to
the farm, all he could see
was plowed fields, not
damaged crops.”
Disaster payments are
made for two major reasons:
prevented planting and low
yields ‘caused by natural
disasters.
“For farms eligible for
prevented planting payment,
the payment will be com
puted on the basis of the
farm’s payment yield times
the alloted acreage on which
planting is prevented,”
Garber said.
“To be eligible for an
abnormally low yield
payment, the total actual
production for a crop must
be less than the farm
acreage allotment for that
crop (or planted acres, if
smaller) times the disaster
program yield. The payment
for the farm will be com
puted on a quantity equal to
the difference between the
payment yeild times the
farm allotment (or planted
acres, if smaller) and the
total actual production.
Flood, drought, wind, in
sects, disease, and other
natural disasters determine
eligibility under this
program.”
For additional information
on the provisions of the 1975
farm programs, contact the
ASCS office in your county.
