(NAFB.com) – Agricultural producers should make an appointment with their local Farm Service Agency office to complete crop acreage reports before their application deadline after planting is complete. July 15 is a major deadline for most crops, but acreage reporting deadlines vary by county and crop. “By filing an accurate and timely acreage report for all crops and land uses, including failed acreage and prevented planting acreage, producers can avoid the loss of important safety net, disaster assistance, conservation, and crop insurance benefits,” says FSA Administrator Zach Ducheneaux. “Call your local office to make an appointment to report your acres once planting is complete.” An acreage report documents a crop grown on a farm or ranch, its intended use, and it’s location. Producers should contact their FSA county office for acreage reporting deadlines that are specific to their county. “While you’re there, check on any other FSA business that might need attention,” Ducheneaux adds.
