— Farm Service Agency (FSA) reminds agricultural producers of the acreage reporting requirements that must be met prior to receiving program benefits. Filing an accurate acreage report for all crops and land uses, including failed acreage and prevented planting acreage, can prevent the loss of benefits for a variety of program. The final date to certify small grains is May 31.
Producers must report acreage to maintain eligibility for price support programs, non insured crop assistance program (NAP), and conservation reserve program (CRP). All cropland on all farms must be certified to remain eligible for these programs.
Producers are reminded that other final crop acreage reporting dates are:
n July 15 for certification of all other crops, except small grain and value loss crops.
