VERNON COUNTY, Mo – University of Missouri Extension and USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA), will host an educational meeting on Tuesday, February 6 from 1 – 4 pm at the Fairgrounds Diner, Centennial Boulevard, Nevada, MO.
The meeting is free, but registration is requested. Individuals who are interested in participating should register through the Vernon County Extension Office, (417) 448-2560, or by email at vernonco@missouri.edu.
The 2014 Farm Bill contains several provisions that enable farmers and landowners to make decisions regarding their involvement in federal farm programs. Landowners will have the opportunity to reallocate base acres on individual farms as well as update yield information that is used to determine some farm program payments. Decisions regarding acreage and yield updates need to be made before February 27, 2015. Additionally, farmers will have the opportunity to elect to participate in the new commodity programs—Price Loss Coverage (PLC) and Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC). Decisions on program election need to be made before March 31, 2015.
In the new farm bill, landowners and farm operators are both involved in these program decisions. We hope this meeting will aid in your decision making process as the choices that you make concerning base and yield updates, as well as ARC and PLC elections, will be in effect through the end of this farm bill period (2018).
Persons with disabilities who require accommodations to attend or participate in this meeting/event/function should contact CED Travis Claypool at (417)667-8137 extension 110 or Federal Relay Service at 1-800-877-8339 by January 09, 2015.
