The Risk Management Agency (RMA) has revised the Macadamia Tree Crop Provisions (16-0024) for the 2016 and succeeding crop years, and the Macadamia Nut Crop Provisions (17-0023) for the 2017 and succeeding crop years. The provisions were revised to clarify policy provisions and to reduce program vulnerabilities. Specific changes include adding definitions, removing the provision requiring an optional unit to contain at least 80 acres, and adding settlement of claim examples.
Please refer to the Macadamia Tree Crop Provisions and Macadamia Nut Crop Provisions for more information.
RMA will place, by close of business today, the new Macadamia Tree Crop Provisions and Summary of Changes, and the new Macadamia Nut Crop Provisions and Summary of Changes on the RMA Web site at http://www.rma.usda.gov/policies.
