Enrollment Now Open for Cotton Transition Assistance Program

Enrollment opened last week for the Cotton Transition Assistance Program (CTAP). The program provides interim payments to cotton producers during the 2014 crop year until the Stacked Income Protection Plan, a new insurance product, becomes available. Details on the plan will be released by mid-August. “To help us provide the best service possible, cotton producers are encouraged to schedule an appointment with their local Farm Service Agency office early in this enrollment period,” said Garcia. Listen to more.
