Joe Hefner, executive director of the USDA Farm Service Agency, reminds producers of two Monday deadlines.<p></b></i></u>
One is to purchase crop insurance for most cotton and grain sorghum to be planted in the county. Producers can call the FSA for a list of agents.<p></b></i></u>
Also, Monday is the final date to purchase NAP (Noninsured Assistance Crop Disaster Protection) for forage sorghum crops.<p></b></i></u>
Hefner said NAP provides a guaranteed level of protection against weather disasters for non-insurance crops.<p></b></i></u>
There is a $100 fee per crop up to $300 per county, not to exceed $900 per producer. Only non-insurable crops are eligible for NAP coverage.<p></b></i></u>
