Crittenden producers qualify for aid

Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program enrollment for 2010 crop year losses begins Nov. 14

“Producers across the state experienced several natural disasters during the 2010 crop year that caused hardship and financial losses to many agricultural operations,” John W. McCauley, Farm Service Agency State Executive Director McCauley, said today.

Crittenden and all but 10 Kentucky counties qualify for assistance if they have at least a 10 percent production loss that affects one crop of economic significance.

For more information on SURE program eligibility requirements contact the local county FSA office in Salem at 988-2180 or visit www.fsa.usda.gov/sure.
