Area farmers and ranchers are invited and highly encouraged to attend one of the FSA informational meetings to learn about the farm program options that are contained in the 2018 Farm Bill.
The Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) are the two program options within the bill.
Learning more about ARC and PLC is extremely important for producers who must make a decision on yield updates as well as ARC or PLC election and enrollment decisions throughout the life of the farm bill. Attendees will receive basic information about the programs, learn the eligibility requirements of the programs, and be made aware of the applicable deadlines for the decisions that will need to be made throughout the enrollment process. A representative from the Extension Service will be in attendance and share information about some tools they have available to assist in deciding which program option may best fit your farm.
Meetings are at 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Anderson County Fairgrounds in Garnett.
Meetings will be at 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. Thursday in the Allen County Courthouse Assembly Room in Iola.
Those needing special accommodations should contact Doug Peine at 65-2901 or 785-448-3128 prior to the meetings.
