USDA sign-up

PARIS — Oxford County USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director Marcia Hall has announced that the 2009 crop year Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program sign-up began Jan. 10.

SURE is a disaster program that provides assistance to farmers and ranchers who have experienced losses caused by natural disasters.

“Natural disasters can turn what would be a profitable crop year into a year of hardship and financial loss,” said Hall. “The SURE program is part of the ‘safety net’ that provides assistance to farmers and ranchers when disaster strikes,” she said.
