Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how this program provides financial assistance for crop losses caused by natural disasters when federal crop insurance is not an option.

This program provides financial help to farmers who suffer crop losses due to natural disasters but do not have coverage through federal crop insurance.

Who it's for

This assistance is designed for producers who grow crops for which federal crop insurance is not available.

What you get

If you experience losses caused by natural disasters, you can receive financial assistance to help cover those losses.

What it costs you

There are service fees required for each crop you enroll. It is important to remember that you must be enrolled in the program before a disaster happens to be eligible for help.

The catch to know

The amount of coverage you receive through this program is often lower than what you would get with a standard commercial insurance policy.

How to apply

  1. Determine if your specific crop is eligible and lacks federal insurance coverage.
  2. Ensure you are enrolled in the program before any disaster occurs.
  3. Contact your local agency to begin the application process for your specific loss.
