I have an orchard in Mequon WI - just north of Milwaukee. I applied for
TAP in October 2014. The process has been a nightmare. The local
office required that I submit an orchard plan listing every tree by
cultivar, age, rootstock, and row spacing. Each change in one of those
criteria = a new
We lost about half an apple block and all of the peaches in 2004.
FSA verified the losses and ownership of the blocks. There was some funding
for tree replacement. I don't remember the details except the assistance was
welcome. No issues that I recall.
