Quality Loss Assistance (QLA) deadline
For crops with 5 percent quality damage in 2018 and/or 2019, the deadline to file for 2018 and/or 2019 QLA is March 5. All crops that are commercially graded for quality loss factors are eligible if the crop received at least a 5 percent discount in the total value based on an eligible weather event for the affected production.
The Monroe County Farm Service Agency office will need your production records showing the quality factors and associated discounted dollar values with price before discount. Interested producers should contact the county office as soon as possible to determine what records are actually needed and to request an appointment.
