2 2014 Farm Bill Overview of the Non-Insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) Reauthorized by the 2014 Farm Bill 2
3 NAP Provisions Provides financial assistance to producers of non-insurable crops to protect against natural disasters that result in lower yields or crop losses, or prevents crop planting. Similar to Crop Insurance in many ways NAP is only available to producers of non-insurable crops. 3
4 NAP / Risk Management Most lenders will have a discussion or want to hear your plan in the event of a crop loss and how the plan will help you manage through the event. 4
5 NAP / Risk Management Date sensitive. Coverage in place before the loss event Documented evidence of who, what when and where. Established data base to calculate an expected replacement value. NAP is Risk management for uninsured crops such as Grapes. 5
6 RMA Grape Crop Provisions Insured Crop All insurable varieties of grapes grown for wine, juice, raisins, or canning That have produced two tons per acre during one of the three last crop years (vinifera varieties have different qualifications) After being set out have reached the number of growing seasons specified in the Special Provisions Acreage that you have a share in 6
7 NAP Grape Crop Provisions NAP Crop eligible-most grapes (zone appropriate) if crop insurance is not available in the County. Loss calculated based on Transitional T yield or producer established Actual Production History APH. Acreage that you have a share in. 7
8 RMA Grape Crop Provisions Quality Adjustment Mature marketable grape production may be adjusted for quality deficiencies. Sales Closing - Nov 20 Acreage reporting - Jan 15 Report of all acreage by varietal group Production reporting - Jan 15 Report of previous year s yields used to calculate APH 8
9 NAP Grape Crop Provisions Quality adjustment-with NAP Buy-Up Sales Closing - Nov 20 Acreage reporting - Jan 15 Report of all acreage by varietal group Production reporting - Jan 15 Report of previous year s yields used to calculate APH 9
10 Prior NAP Provisions The prior Farm Bill NAP provisions only offered NAP at a level equal to FCIC CAT (Catastrophic) level coverage. 50% Loss 55% Price Only pays when its very evident catastrophe occurred. 10
11 Major Enhancements Two major enhancements to NAP are: Option to purchase Buy Up coverage. Expansion of incentives to applicable producer groups. 11
12 Major Enhancements Producers of crops not insured by the USDA s Risk Management Agency (RMA) policies, can purchase crop yield buy-up protection for the 2015 NAP crops at up to 65% of their approved yield with losses paid at 100% of the NAP established market price. Referred to as 65/
13 Cost of Basic NAP $ per County, per selected Pay Group. $ per County, for all selected Pay Groups. $ coverage cost ceiling per Applicant for selected Pay Groups. 13
14 NAP Buy Up The 2014 Farm Bill expanded the NAP coverage options from: Basic NAP: (50% Loss Coverage. 55% Mkt. Price Coverage) To include NAP Buy-Up 50/100 loss=/> 100% Mkt.price 55/100 loss=/> 100% Mkt.price 60/100 loss=/> 100% Mkt.price 65/100 loss=/> 100% Mkt.price 14
15 Buy Up Producers still have to pay the basic CAT level coverage application fee unless waived under SDA/LR/BF provisions. Cost has not changed to Non SDA/LR/BF s. (SDA-Socially Disadvantaged Applicant, LR-Limited Resource, BF-Beginning Farmer) 15
16 Buy Up Cost Cost of Buy-Up per acre is dependent on the crop insured, how good a grower you are, and your option selected. The more valuable the crop and/or the higher your APH, the higher the premium. 16
17 Cost of Buy Up Let s look at Michigan Concord grapes as an example. $ cost of CAT Basic NAP. Separate Pay Groups. Ingham County Average Yield for Concord processed is 5.17 ton/a 17
18 Buy Up Loss Levels 5.17 ton/acre average yield (Ingham Co.) 50% Loss Coverage = ton/a 55% Loss Coverage = ton/a 60% Loss Coverage = ton/a 65% Loss Coverage = ton/a 18
19 NAP Grape Price NAP Price for Aurora (AUR) grapes processed is $ ton with a 2015 T Yield County Estimate Yield (CEY) 5.17 tons per acre Concords (CON) processed $ ton CEY 5.17 tons per acre Dolcetto (DOL) processed $ ton CEY 3.83 tons per acre Buy Up Factor is 5.25% 19
20 NAP Guarantee Eligible Acres 5.0 X producer share 1.0 X Approved yield 5.17 X Elected Yld. Coverage 0.65 (=prod. guar.) X Production Guarantee ton/a X 100% of price $ = NAP Guarantee $
21 NAP Premium Eligible Acres 5.0 X yield 5.17 ton/a X share 1.0 X 65% Coverage Level X $ NAP Price X 5.25 Premium Factor = $315 NAP Premium (plus $ NAP service fee) 21
22 SDA/LR/BF Exceptions Under the 2014 Farm Bill, half of the cost of Buy Up is waived if an applicant qualifies as a SDA/LR/BF. Basic NAP application fee is also waived. SDA/LR/BF is subject to a $3, Buy Up cost ceiling. Therefore, SDA/LR/BF s get a 2 for 1 incentive. 22
23 SDA/LR/BF Exception Every year, a person or entity seeking SDA/LR/BF exception must certify eligibility on a Form CCC-860. This annual certification does not allow for Continuous Coverage. 23
24 SDA Definition Farmer who is a member of a group whose members have been subject to racial, ethnic, or gender prejudice because of their identity as members of a group without regard to their individual qualities.

Grapes 1% Cherries 5% Blueberries 3% Losses from different stands with the same crop type will not be averaged to determine loss eligibility 15% mortality (dead) adjusted for normal mortality must be met, before damaged trees are eligible. Also, damaged trees must meet the 15% damaged, adjusted for normal mortality, to be eligible. 34
35 Applying for TAP CCC-899, Application for Assistance, must be filed by crop, type, stand, and producer share, in the administrative county that maintains the applicant s farm records. 35

37 To be considered an eligible loss: Eligible Losses Eligible trees, bushes or vines must have been lost or damaged as a result of natural disaster. The individual stand must have sustained a mortality loss (dead above and below ground), in excess of 15% after adjustment for normal mortality, determined based on: each eligible disaster event, except for losses due to plant disease Note: Death of a plants graft or scion that necessitates removal and replacement of the plants rootstock may be counted toward the 15% mortality, adjusted for normal mortality. To be eligible for damage losses, the individual stand must have sustained both of the following: Mortality loss in excess of 15% after adjustment for normal mortality; and Damage losses of 15% adjusted for normal mortality. 37
38 Eligible Losses (Continued) To be considered an eligible loss: the loss could not have been prevented through reasonable/available measures; and the trees, bushes, or vines, in the absence of a natural disaster, would not normally have required rehab or replanting within the 12-month period following the loss. the damage/loss must be visible and obvious to COC representative.

40 Losses Due to Plant Disease Plant disease may not be apparent immediately upon infection due to the fact that the time between infection and symptom appearance can be from 1 to 6 months, to several years. Therefore, the 15% loss threshold and normal mortality calculation shall be cumulative based on the loss period. 40
41 Losses Due to Plant Disease (Continued) COF must retain the producer s initial CCC-899 on tree infestation and pathogen, and send CCC representative to complete Part D of CCC-899, when producer reports total mortality in subsequent years. 41
