USDA’s Farm Service Agency announced producers have until March 15 to enroll in either the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) or Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs for the 2022 crop year.
Producers can elect coverage and enroll in ARC-County or PLC, which are both crop by crop, or ARC-Individual, which is for the entire farm. Although election changes for 2022 are optional, producers must enroll through a signed contract each year.
If an election is not submitted by the March 15 deadline, the election remains the same as the 2021 election for crops.
In addition to the March 15 deadline for ARC and PLC, other important deadlines include March 1 for the Livestock Indemnity Program, March 11 for the General Conservation Reserve Program sign-up and March 15 for the Pandemic Cover Crop Program.
For more information on these programs, producers can visit www.fsa.usda.gov or contact their local USDA Service Center.
