2000 Crop Disaster Program: The Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001, included funding for producers who suffered crop losses in the year 2000 due to natural disasters. Eligibility was the same as for the Crop Disaster Program. Historic yields were based on the higher of the 5-year National Agricultural Statistics Service county average yield, the crop insurance actual production history yield, or the NAP-approved yield. Unlike previous crop loss programs, the 2000 CDP payments would not be subject to a national proration factor, meaning producers received 100 percent of the approved payment. However, CDP benefits were limited to $80,000 per person. No one with an annual gross income of $2.5 million or more in the 1999 tax year was eligible. As a condition of receiving benefits under CDP, any producer who elected not to purchase crop insurance on a 2000 crop for which CDP benefits were requested had to insure that crop for the 2001 and 2002 crop years.

2000 Flood Compensation Program (FCP):Under authority of the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 (Sec. 257), producers in eligible counties in Iowa, Minnesota, and North and South Dakota that were approved under the 1998 FCP could receive payments for the loss of the use ofcropland or pastureland that occurred from October 1, 1999, through September 30, 2000. Payments totaling $20 million were made to 13,740 producers whose land was inaccessible or unfit for crop production, grazing, or haying because of flooding or excess moisture during the 2000 crop year.
