May 18 is the deadline for farm producers to sign up for 2008 disaster assistance by paying a buy-in fee, according to the Richmond County Farm Service Agency, 123 Caroline Street, Rockingham.

The fee permits a producer to become eligible for 2008 crop disaster assistance programs.

The fee is $100 per crop.

For information, contact Amy Hill Yaklin at 895-3950, ext. 2.

Eligibility will be for the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program, emergency assistance for livestock, honeybees, farm-raised fish and the Tree Assistance Program.

Producers who meet the definitions of “socially disadvantaged, limited resource” or “beginning farmer or rancher” are not required to pay the buy-in fee.
