To participate in many USDA programs, including disaster assistance programs like ELAP, you must file timely Crop Acreage reports each year to be eligible.
What is ELAP?
USDA Farm Service Agency’s Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees, and Farm-raised Fish (ELAP) provides financial relief to aquaculture producers for feed and crop losses caused by eligible natural disasters. ELAP does not require a fee for coverage, however, you must apply for and maintain eligibility.
