[Mailman-Users] Fwd: apple-crop post from rbarthel at wi.rr.com requires approval

[Jon Clements]

Hi, any idea why when I visit the admindb page it says "There are no
pending requests." What should I look for??? I believe it has worked
previously. Mailman 2.1.20 running on Yosemite 10.10.5 after a novice
installation (that was a hoot!) but has been working seemingly OK for
several months.

Thanks for any help.

Jon

Subject: Re: [Apple-Crop] TAP
I have an orchard in Mequon WI - just north of Milwaukee.  I applied for
TAP in October 2014.  The process has been a nightmare.  I just received
payment for the program.  The local FSA office personal changed the rules
on how the application was written after I complied with their initial
requirements.  That change 'disqualified' 90% of my damage.  I had to fight
the local office at the state level.  The state level coordinator
disallowed all damaged trees.  The federal record for the program allows
credit for damaged trees.  I had blocks of Honeycrisp (6000+ trees) with 30
- 40% dead trunks - southwest injury from the -28 degrees.  Damage in the
block was 80% of the trees. None of that injury was credited under the
program rules.  I have to remove those trees as they are getting infected
with black rot and other fungi .  The state officer stated if the tree can
grow one apple - it's not damaged even if the whole top or one side is
dead. I submitted a claim for over $14,500 using the formula they required
just for the dead trees.  Payment was $5,800.  Better than nothing but
never again.  The amount of time documenting the orchard loss, time lost in
many 3+ hours meetings,  upset and bad feelings do not compensate me for
trying to work with FSA.  I'm never going back to FSA for any program!
