PLC payments have triggered for 2017 barley,
canola, corn, grain sorghum, wheat and other crops. In the next
few months payments will be triggered for rice, chickpeas,
sunflower seeds, flaxseed, mustard seed, rapeseed, safflower,
crambe, and sesame seed. Producers with bases enrolled in ARC
for 2017 crops can visit
www.fsa.usda.
gov/arc-plc for updated crop yields, prices, revenue
and payment rates. In Illinois 87 counties have experienced a
drop in price and/or revenues below the benchmark price
established by the ARC or PLC programs and will receive
payments.
ARC and PLC payments by county can vary because average county
yields will differ.
Also, this week, USDA will begin issuing 2018 CRP payments to
support voluntary conservation efforts on private lands. In
Illinois, 43,500 landowners will receive compensation for their
efforts to improve water quality, reduce soil erosion and
improve wildlife habitat.
