It’s important to contact support services as soon as you can to report crop injury and losses. We are all here to help you with this so please do contact us. The local USDA offices — both FSA and NRCS — are helping farmers fill out paperwork, and our Risk Management folks suggest to contact your Crop Insurance Agent as soon as possible. Here is an info sheet with some helpful suggestions: http://www.uvm.edu/extension/cropsoil/wp-content/uploads/BE-FAMILIAR-WITH-CROP-DAMAGE-2.pdf.
