The Isanti-Chisago County United States Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency will host an open house informational session on their NAP program.
Producers of specialty crops are invited to attend on Wednesday, March 8, from 10 -11 a.m. at the Isanti-Chisago County USDA Service Center, 110 Buchanan St. N., Cambridge.
This program is designed to provide a risk protection plan against natural weather events. FSA representatives will be on-hand to discuss program requirements, coverage options, eligible crops and crop specific deadlines.
