Reminder To Report Failed Acreage To FSA FSA reminds producers with planted fields that were completely destroyed by the recent storms which included hail, wind, excessive rain, or tornadoes to report the failed acreage to the local FSA office. Failed acreage claims should be reported to FSA prior to disposition of the crop or planting of a subsequent crop, even if replanting to the same crop. Producers should also report the failed acreage to their crop insurance agent. As part of business operations, the FSA office will work with crop insurance personnel in a common effort to assist our producers and share data. Please contact the Phelps County FSA Office for more information on reporting guidelines for failed acreage.
