Your local Farm Service Agency announced that producers can enroll in the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program for 2011 crop year losses beginning Oct. 22, 2012. Under the 2008 Farm Bill, SURE authorizes assistance to farmers and ranchers who suffered crop losses caused by natural disasters occurring through Sept. 30, 2011.
Eligible producers who experienced a 2011 crop loss can contact the Bates County FSA office to learn more about the SURE program. All eligible farmers and ranchers must sign up for 2011 SURE benefits before the June 7, 2013 deadline.
To qualify for a SURE payment, the producer's operation must be located in a county, or a contiguous county, that was declared a disaster for 2011 and have at least a 10 percent production loss that affects one crop of economic significance. Producers with agricultural operations located outside a disaster county are eligible for SURE benefits if they had a production loss greater or equal to 50 percent of the normal production on the farm.
In Missouri, all counties received a primary Secretarial Disaster Designation or were contiguous to a county with a Secretarial Disaster Designation during 2011. This means producers in all Missouri counties can apply for SURE benefits as long as all other eligibility requirements are met.
To meet program eligibility requirements, producers must have obtained a policy or plan of insurance for all insurable crops through the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation and obtained Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) coverage on non-insurable crops, if available, from FSA. Eligible farmers and ranchers who meet the definition of a socially disadvantaged, limited resource or beginning farmer or rancher do not have to meet this requirement. Forage crops intended for grazing are not eligible for SURE benefits.
For more information on SURE program eligibility requirements contact the Bates County FSA office at 660-679-6112 or visit the website at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/sure.

Missouri State Parks hosts Battle of Island Mound State Historic Site dedication Oct. 27 in Bates County
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A site associated with a significant Civil War milestone will be dedicated as Missouri’s newest state historic site Saturday, Oct. 27 in Bates County. Battle of Island Mound State Historic Site will be officially dedicated at 11 a.m. Saturday with activities both before and after the ceremony.
The Battle of Island Mound, which occurred on Oct. 29, 1862, was the first time African-American soldiers engaged in combat during the Civil War. Prior to the battle, troops of the First Kansas Colored Volunteer Infantry commandeered the home of Southern sympathizers Enoch and Christiana Toothman to use as their headquarters. The new 40-acre historic site, administered by Missouri State Parks, preserves a portion of this significant site and interprets the battle whose outcome removed any doubts about the ability of African-American soldiers to perform in military engagements.
