FSA deadline for ACRE and PTPP reports is July 15

Producers participating in the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) and/or Planting Transferability Pilot Project (PTPP) are reminded that July 15, 2010, is the deadline to submit 2009 production reports for planted acres as required by the Wisconsin Farm Service Agency (FSA).

Reports are to be submitted no later than the last crop reporting date for the covered commodities planted on the farm in the year following the contract year of enrollment in the programs.

The production reports impact eligibility for potential ACRE payments in the current year and also impacts future years’ benchmark farm yields for covered commodities.

For 2009 enrolled ACRE farms, the deadline to establish benchmark farm yields and reporting production for the 2009 crop year is July 15, 2010. For farms enrolled in the PTPP for 2009, the deadline to report production is also July 15, 2010.

For more information about the 2009 production reports for ACRE and PTPP, please visit the Sheboygan County FSA office or visit http://www.fsa.usda.gov.
