| Impact Report | NAP Program Assessment The agent was asked by the Farm Service Agency office to assess the native forage production in the county for the Non-insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP). As usual for New Mexico, rains were very spotty this past growing season, and estimating an amount of production or lack of production of native grass and assigning a numerical value is very hard, particularly for a large area such as a county. The agent met with the County Emergency Board to assist in requesting a drought declaration for Chaves County through the Farm Service Agency Office. The agent also spent time assessing forage production in the county and assigning a “percent loss” for the program. |
