Cash Advance Program:
We have requested and been granted some extensions to the 2009 Cash Advance Program for unharvested crop.
- If you have some crop unharvested on which you do not yet have a Pre-Production Advance (that is an advance based on Crop Insurance values), you now have until January 29, 2010 to apply.
- For those who have received the Pre-Production Advance, but still have crop in the field or are still waiting for Crop Insurance adjustments, there has also been an extension granted to finalize your Post-Production Worksheets. In this case it is only for that portion of the crop that has not been harvested or finalized and you must still send in your Post-Production Worksheet with the values for the crop that you do have in storage and advise us of what portion remains unharvested or is waiting for Crop Insurance payments.
Please contact the office if you have any questions regarding these extensions.
The Post-Production Prices are listed below. Please read the instructions below to know which forms you will need.
