FSA acreage reporting deadlines extended
LEXINGTON - The Rockbridge/ Alleghany/Bath County Farm Service Agency reminds producers that the deadline for filing 2008 acreage reports for all crops, except small grains, has been extended to Aug. 15. This includes corn, soybeans, grain sorghum, hay, pasture, and CRP/ CREP acreage.
The deadline for small grain acreage reports was May 31, 2008, and this deadline was not extended. However, a late-filed report may be filed for a nominal fee.
A complete acreage report must be filed each year in order to retain eligibility for most USDA programs. Crop planting dates must be provided when certifying crop acreage. Producers are reminded that crop acreages, shares, and production reported to FSA and RMA (crop insurance) should be the same. Ensure that your policy name and tax ID reported to crop insurance is the same as recorded at FSA.
Producers may call the FSA office at (540) 463-7124, ext. 2, if they have any questions or would like to set up an appointment. Appointments are strongly encouraged for acreage reporting.
