If you had a loss in any three of the last five crop years (1994 through 1998) and the crop was either insured or covered by NAP, then you may select any three years in which you had a docu- mented loss and receive 25 per- cent of the total insurance claim payments or total NAP payments received or that would have been received during that three year period. Ifyou had aloss in 1998 and in three of the last five years, then payments will be made at the higher of the two levels. If you had a loss only in 1998 crop that exceeded 35 percent of the historical yield and your crop was insured, then you will receive 65 percent of the FCIC market price. If no insurance was available for your crop and you were cov- ered under the Noninsured Assis- tance Program (NAP), then you will receive 65 percent of the five- year average price. If your crop was eligible for insurance but was not insured, then you will receive 60 percent of the FCIC market price. Payments will be made in early Spring, 1999. You will probably notreceive the full calculated pay- ment as the total for all eligible producers may be more than avail- able money. All payments will be reduced by the same factor and be limited to $80,000 per person.
