Prefilled applications have been mailed to impacted producers who received crop insurance indemnification or Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) payments in either of those years. Producers must submit the FSA-526 application to their FSA office. For more information, producers can visit the SDRP webpage or contact their FSA office.
