Farmers are encouraged to visit their local Farm Service Agency office to make their elections for either the Agriculture Risk Coverage or Price Loss Coverage programs for 2019 and 2020. FSA Administrator Richard Fordyce says the deadlines are not too far away…

Fordyce adds that both farmers and their local FSA offices aren’t quite as busy as they are at other times of the year, which makes it a great time to get in and get the paperwork done…

Fordyce says under the new farm bill, the ARC and PLC programs have more flexibility for producers than before, notably the opportunity to change their program selection annually beginning in 2021.
