AGRICULTURE ACT OF 2014
The implementation of the 2014 Farm Bill brings more questions than answers, but we're available to try help you make a decision. Here, you will find important Farm Bill deadlines and links to Farm Bill information and a variety of Online Decision Tools.
It's important to remember that there are a couple of primary steps to take before you ultimately choose a Farm Bill Program to participate in. First, landowners need to determine if they want to reallocate base acres and/or update counter-cyclical yields. After this process, the producer will make the program election and enroll.
**It is imperative that landowner records are current at the FSA Office- if a landowner change is not updated, your program elections will be negatively affected for the life of the Farm Bill! CHECK your FSA156-EZ for accuracy!!
