Agricultural producers negatively impacted by Tropical Storm Bavi may be eligible for disaster assistance through the Farm Service Agency if they are signed up for the Non-Insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program and file a Notice of Loss (CCC-576) within 72 hours for hand-harvested crops under the new provisions of the 2014 Farm Bill.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Notice of Loss is used to report failed acreage and may be completed by any producer with an interest in the crop. Timely filing of a Notice of Loss within 72 hours for hand-harvested crops and within 15 days for all other crops including grasses is required following the occurrence of a disaster or when losses become apparent. Producers may file a Notice of Loss with the FSA County Office by email, fax, or phone.<\/p>\n
For more information or to file a Notice of Loss, call the FSA Guam County Office at (671) 472-7568. Producers in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands may dial toll free (670) 234-0896.
