Previously producers elected one or the other program for
each farm, or if no program election was made, the farm
defaulted to the PLC program. Defaulted farms are not eligible
for 2014 program benefits, but are eligible for potential
2015-2018 program benefits.
The 2014 and 2015 program year enrollment period began June 17,
2015, and will end September 30, 2015. Some producers
erroneously think that because they completed the program
election for their farms there is no further action required of
them, this is incorrect.
Those producers who elected either program, and those producers
who didn't file a program election and their farm defaulted to
PLC through 2018, still need to timely enroll their farms
annually.
If a farm is not enrolled for the 2014 and/or 2015 program year
by September 30, 2015, the farm will not be eligible for acreage
risk or price loss coverage.
Please contact your local County FSA Office to finalize this
important step for the 2014 and/or 2015 ARC or PLC programs
prior to September 30, 2015.
