• Karnal Bunt Compensation Claim allows a person to get claim for the crops that affected by Karnal Bunt disease. It reduces grain quality through the production of masses of powdery spores that discolour the grain and grain products.
• Compensation for decontamination of grain storage facilities will be on a one-time-only basis for up to 50 percent of the cost of decontamination, not to exceed $20,000. The authority does not expect total compensation paid for the decontamination of grain storage facilities used in the 1999-2000 season to exceed $30,000. For the 2000-2001 crop season, such compensation is estimated at $159,000.
