SPRINGFIELD -- "With spring
planting underway across most of Illinois, I would like to encourage
producers to timely report any prevented or failed acreage to their
local office," said Scherrie V. Giamanco, state executive director
of the United States Department of Agriculture's Illinois Farm
Service Agency:

"All failed acreage and prevented planted acreage should be reported
timely to FSA whether insured or noninsured," said Giamanco. "This
will ensure an accurate crop report and possible eligibility for
future programs."
Failed acreage must be reported to FSA prior to disposition of
the failed crop. Prevented planted acres should be reported within
15 days of the final planting date of the crop. Producers should
contact their local FSA office or crop insurance agent to verify
final planting dates for all crops since they vary among counties.
If a producer misses the reporting deadline for prevented
planting, they should still report and may get credit for prevented
planting acreage as long as the disaster condition may be verified
by FSA.
