Deadline approaches for Ohio's 2011 disaster program
COLUMBUS — Eligible producers with livestock, purchased or harvested feed, honey bees, or farm-raised fish losses due to disease, adverse weather, or other conditions between Jan. 1 and Dec. 29, 2011, have until Monday to submit all supporting documentation, if they have not already done so.
Adequate documentation must prove the loss occurred as a direct result of an eligible adverse weather event in the calendar year for which benefits are being requested.
Producers should contact their local Farm Service Agency county offices with any questions about ELAP. Producers can also learn more about ELAP by visiting http://disaster.fsa.usda.gov.
