Calculation of prevented planted acreage.

CFR · 2024-01-01 · US · Title 7

(a) When determining losses under this part, prevented planted acreage will be considered separately from planted acreage of the same crop. (b) For insured crops, or NAP covered crops, as applicable, disaster payments under this part for prevented planted acreage will not be made unless RMA or FSA, as applicable, documentation indicates that the eligible participant received a prevented planting payment under either NAP or the RMA-administered program. (c) The participant must prove, to the satisfaction of the county committee, an intent to plant the crop and that such crop could not be planted because of an eligible disaster. The county committee must be able to determine the participant was prevented from planting the crop by an eligible disaster that: (1) Prevented other producers from planting on acreage with similar characteristics in the surrounding area; (2) Occurred after the previous planting period for the crop; and (3) Unless otherwise approved by the Deputy Administrator, began no earlier than the planting season for that crop. (d) Prevented planted disaster benefits under this part do not apply to: (1) Acreage not insured or NAP covered; (2) Any acreage on which a crop other than a cover crop was harvested, hayed, or grazed during the crop year; (3) Any acreage for which a cash lease payment is received for the use of the acreage the same crop year, unless the county committee determines the lease was for haying and grazing rights only and was not a lease for use
