WASHINGTON, Aug. 7, 2014 — U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency Administrator Juan M. Garcia today announced that farmers can enroll in the Cotton Transition Assistance Program (CTAP) from Aug. 11, 2014 through Oct. 7, 2014.
The
program, created by the 2014 Farm Bill, provides interim payments to
cotton producers during the 2014 crop year until the Stacked Income
Protection Plan, a new insurance product also created by the
legislation, is available. Details on the plan will be released by
mid-August. |
