RE: NY Landowners - permits

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quotequote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Hey Mike, I thought you needed 600 acres to be in the DMAP program, has this changed, or did I misread it last year?<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

No, I don't think so. We've only got 250 combined acres.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Also, do you have anctive farm?<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

Yes, the farm is active. We've got soybeans, corn and winter wheat. I had to estimate the amount of actual crop fields on the DMAP form.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Did you need to prove crop damage?<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

No however, I was prepared to do so with photo's. The DEC person I worked with mentioned that they can send someone to your farm to help evaluate, and plan a solution to control the damage. They can someone to help if you want to start a QDM as well.

The DMAP was pretty simple. You need to state the name, address, number of the person who will represent the landowner and distribute tags. You need to list the name, address, number of the landowner. Can be the same person of course. In my case, I'm the rep and my brother-in-law and father-in-law are the owners. You will need the tax-id or farm-id(?) of the farm land. Each farmer is issued some sort of special id number. I really didn't have a clue about this but my brother-in-law had the required info. Then you have to estimate the amount of land and crop field sizes. You need to describe the damage and circle whether the situation has improved, worsened or stayed the same. There's another field that asks if you want the DEC to help you locate hunters for the land. Finally of course, the form needs to be signed by everyone.

That's basically it. They send along a fairly detailed instruction packette. I sent the form in then made a follow-up call about a week later. I spoke with the guy and mentioned that I was looking for crop damage permits. He sent them out the next day. For crop damage permits, there are some tags plus a log sheet that must be filled out. This log sheet is sent in to the DEC after the tags expire. Mine expire Sept 30th. They want the deer heads for research into Chronic Wasting Disease.
