The USDA knows there were a few hiccups in the implementation of the Emergency Relief Program. “The AGI-related issues, we’re looking to the flexibility in the regulations for that,” said Zach Ducheneaux, Administrator, Farm Service Agency. “Some of the tax issues where the IRS is defining income, there may not be much we can do other than have a conversation to see if there is flexibility and we’ll work on that this summer.” Ducheneaux says issues with prevented plant will also be addressed. Farmers with crop insurance have until July 22 to complete and submit their forms. FSA will send out pre-filled applications for 9,000 eligible farmers with NAP coverage in mid-July.
