Farm Service Agency Reporting Deadline Quickly Approaching

Indianapolis, July 12, 2011 - Julia A. Wickard, Executive Director of USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Indiana announced today that the reporting deadline is quickly approaching. The timely and accurate reporting of acres for all crops and land uses, including prevented and failed acreage, can prevent loss of benefits for a variety of FSA programs. All cropland on the farm must be reported by July 15, 2011 to receive benefits from the Direct and Counter-cyclical Program (DCP), Marketing Assistance Loan Program (MAL) and Loan Deficiency Payment Program (LDP). Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acreage must be reported to receive annual rental payments. Crop acreage for the Non-insured Crop Disaster Assistance Payments Program (NAP) must also be reported.

"The Indiana Farm Service Agency wants producers to be aware of the date associated with timely filing acreage reports, especially due to the weather conditions producers faced this planting season," said Wickard.

It is important producers contact their local office to set up an appointment before the deadline. The final date to report all cropland acreage to FSA is July 15, 2011. Failure to report all crop acreage to FSA by this date directly affects the producer's eligibility for FSA program payments.
