IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER:
08/14/24 2022 ERP
09/01/24 NAP for Wheat
If you were affected by the recent wildfires and have losses in livestock, feed/hay or fence/conservation structures, please contact the FSA office to schedule an appointment to discuss assistance and/or file NOTICES OF LOSS as soon as possible.
Producers who received an Emergency Relief Program (ERP) payment need to meet ERP insurance linkage requirements by purchasing crop insurance, or Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) coverage where crop insurance is not available.
Purchase coverage must be at the 60/100 coverage level or higher for insured crops or at the catastrophic coverage level or higher for NAP crops for the next two available crop years, which will be determined from the date you received an ERP payment and may vary depending on the timing and availability of coverage. The insurance coverage requirement applies to the physical location of the county where the crop was located and for which an ERP payment was issued.
Contact your crop insurance agent or local FSA county office as soon as possible to ask about coverage options. Producers who do not obtain the applicable coverage by the sales/application closing date will be required to refund the ERP benefits received on the applicable crop, plus interest. To determine which crops are eligible for federal crop insurance or NAP, visit the RMA website.
For more information, contact your local USDA Service Center or visit fsa.usda.gov.

Farm Service Agency (FSA) is committed to providing our farm loan borrowers the tools necessary to be successful. FSA staff will provide guidance and counsel from the loan application process through the borrower’s graduation to commercial credit. While it is FSA’s commitment to advise borrowers as they identify goals and evaluate progress, it is crucial for borrowers to communicate with their farm loan staff when changes occur. It is the borrower’s responsibility to alert FSA to any of the following:
- Any proposed or significant changes in the farming operation
- Any significant changes to family income or expenses
- The development of problem situations
- Any losses or proposed significant changes in security
If a farm loan borrower can’t make payments to suppliers, other creditors, or FSA on time, contact your farm loan staff immediately to discuss loan servicing options.
For more information on FSA farm loan programs, contact your Donley County USDA Service Center at 806-874-3561 or visit fsa.usda.gov.
Your Local Hansford Hutchinson NRCS would like to take this opportunity to remind operators and landowners of the importance of calling 811 before any excavating work is done. One easy phone call to 811, at least 72 hours prior to digging, starts the process of getting your underground utility lines marked for free.
Hitting an underground utility line while digging can harm the environment, cause serious personal injuries, disrupt services, and potentially incur fines and repair costs. One out of every three digging incidents are caused by someone who did not call 811 before digging. Please visit www.call811.com for more information.
