Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that sign-up for farm programs extended from the 2008 farm bill, including direct payments, will begin on Feb. 19. The one-year extension of the 2008 farm bill will feature several programs, including: the Direct and Counter-Cyclical Payment Program (DCP), and the Average Crop Revenue Election Program (ACRE).
Sign-ups for DCP and ACRE for the 2013 crops begin on Feb. 19, 2013. The DCP sign-up period will end on Aug. 2, 2013, and the ACRE sign-up period will end on June 3, 2013
Program provisions for DCP and ACRE are unchanged from 2012, except that all eligible participants in 2013 may choose to enroll in either DCP or ACRE for the 2013 crop year. Meaning eligible producers who were enrolled in ACRE in 2012 may elect to enroll in DCP in 2013 or may re-enroll in ACRE in 2013 (and vice versa).
For more information about program requirements, updates and signups, visit any FSA county office or www.fsa.usda.gov.
