Abstract: The 2008 Farm Bill authorizes the continuation of the Tree Assistance Program (TAP). We are revising the regulations to specify provisions in the 2008 Farm Bill, such as providing assistance to Christmas tree growers; reimbursing producers for 70 percent of the cost for replanting trees; and reimbursing producers for 50 percent of the cost of pruning, removal, and other costs incurred for salvaging the trees. The regulations will apply to 2008 and subsequent program years.
