[June 21, 2019]    USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) reminds producers to report prevented planting in order to establish or retain FSA program eligibility for some programs.

Producers should report crop acreage they intended to plant, but due to a natural disaster, were prevented from planting, to FSA on form CCC-576 Notice of Loss within 15 calendar days after (but not before) the final planting date for that crop.

Due to the extraordinary weather events Illinois has experienced in crop year 2019, Illinois FSA State Executive Director (SED), William Graff, has approved an extension to all Counties in Illinois, for producers without insurance or NAP coverage, to file a prevented planting claim by the final acreage reporting date of the crop.

For crop year 2019, all producers without insurance or NAP coverage, can file a prevented planted claim, no later than the final acreage reporting date of the crop, and be considered timely filed for FSA purposes.

Producers with crop insurance, that timely filed a prevented planted claim with their insurance company, will be considered timely filed for FSA purposes, regardless of when the CCC-576, Notice of Loss form is received. Data from RMA or proper evidence provided by the producer that the prevented planted claim was filed timely with the insurance company can be accepted by FSA, to prove a timely filed prevented planting claim to RMA.
