Farm Bill Enrollment Deadline Sept. 30

The National Corn Growers Association today reminded farmers that they have until Sept. 30 to enroll in Farm Service Agency risk management programs for the 2014 and 2015 crop years.

Earlier this year, farmers elected either Agricultural Risk Coverage or Price Loss Coverage, two new risk management programs created under the 2014 farm bill.

“The 2014 farm bill included major reforms to our risk management tools. Formal enrollment marks the final step farmers must take to enroll in the program,” said Jim Reed, a farmer from Monticello, Ill. and chair of the National Corn Growers Association Public Policy Action Team.
