Spencer, IA: (Jan. 23, 2012) - Enrollment for the 2012 Farm Program began today. Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices throughout Iowa and Minnesota will start signing people up today for the latest round of the Direct & Counter-cyclical Program (DCP) and the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program.
Jackson County, Minnesota FSA County Executive Director Larry Stuckenbroker…….
As Stuckenbroker noted, there are no advance payments this year. But he says producers should not use that as a reason to delay signup until the June 1st deadline.
Stuckenbroker says producers can alert the County Office to changes in their farming operations when they come in to sign-up.
Due to budget constraints, Stuckenbroker says FSA County offices won’t be sending reminder postcards this year.
