Supporting documentation of losses for all counties having disaster is provided by the County Emergency Boards in the form of a report entitled ‘‘Loss Assessment Report’’ (LAR). Need and Use of the Information: The Farm Service Agency will collect the following information to determine if the county is eligible to qualify for a natural disaster designation: (1) The nature and extent of production losses; (2) the number of farmers who have sustained qualifying production losses; and (3) the number of farmers that have sustained qualifying production losses that other lenders in the county have indicated that they will not be in a position to finance.
