University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension Offering Informational Meetings on Price Loss Coverage and Ag Risk Coverag
Monday, December 16th, 2019 -- 8:36 AM
(Wisconsin Ag Connection) -The University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension will offer informational meetings across the state for farmers interested in learning about the program election for Price Loss Coverage and Agriculture Risk Coverage under the 2018 Farm Bill.The Farm Service Agency announced that signup is underway for the PLC and ARC Program election. The agency administers those programs, in which the sign-up deadline is March 15, 2020 for crop years 2019 and 2020. This year, farmers may want to examine Individual ARC-IC, as it may make sense for them on some of their FSA farms. In addition to electing a program, farmers will also be able to update their yield information for the program. In some cases, landlords will be required to sign program documents. As a result, farmers may want to connect with FSA to find out if they need to do this, and then start the process of connecting with their landlords.
Informational meetings offered by county Extension educators across the state this winter will provide an overview of the 2018 Farm Bill PLC/ARC program election and address the following information for farmers considering the program.
