Clarifying Disaster Assistance Program authority for heirs of deceased farmers
The Disaster Assistance Program rules require signatures from the eligible producer or authorized signer, or from an executor if the producer is deceased. Case by case approval may allow heirs to file and receive payments, with authority proven by court orders, executor letters, or other documented authorization. Hail damage across Dawson to Yoakum counties affects over 150,000 acres, with under 100,000 acres unsalvageable, prompting TCE guidance on harvest aids and crop loss assessment.
