Winneshiek County Farm Service Agency reminding local farmers about deadline

Posted: Tue, May 31, 2011 4:17 PM

The Winneshiek County Farm Service Agency is reminding area farmers to submit their annual acreage report by June 30th.

County FSA Executive Director Julie Vulk says, "With many of the new disaster crops, such as SURE, it has become crucial that producers report the correct year of seeding establishment for their different forage crops."  

Acreage reports are considered filed in a timely manner when they are completed by the applicable final crop reporting deadline of June 30th.  Prevented acreage must be reported within 15 calendar days after the final planting date. Failed acreage must be reported before the disposition of the crop. NAP crops that are harvested prior to June 30th must report by the earlier of June 30th or 15 calendar days before the onset of harvest or grazing. Producers should contact the Winneshiek County FSA office if they are uncertain about reporting deadlines.
