The USDA is encouraging local farmers to enroll in a crop insurance program before the August deadline.
The Indiana FSA is offering help for agricultural producers interested in enrolling in an Agricultural Risk Cover or Price Loss Coverage program. The insurance, a result of the 2014 Farm Bill, provides protections in the instance market forces adversely affect a farmer’s revenues or price on their crops.
Indiana farmers have until August 1st to enroll their crops for the 2016 crop year, according to the USDA. Data suggests that a majority of corn, wheat, and soybean farmers elected enrolling in an ARC-county program.
Crops such as rice and peanuts elected enrollment in PLC programs.

6/1/2015 USDA Filing Deadline
Filing Deadline
Published: May 18, 2015
By: Mary Perren, WKVI
Specialty crop producers who applied for enhanced crop
insurance this year have a deadline approaching to turn in necessary paperwork.
Conservation compliance forms must be filed with the U.S. Department of
Agriculture by June 1. Farmers who do not complete the form will not be
eligible for federal crop insurance payments. The 2014 farm bill gave specialty
crop producers the option to apply for enhanced crop coverage through the
federal Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program, commonly known as NAP. In order
to receive payments, farmers must certify they will not plant crops on erodible
land unless previously approved by the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Applicants must also agree not to drain, dredge, level or fill any wetlands on
their property.
Producers who complete the form by June 1 will be eligible
for federal crop insurance payments for the 2016 reinsurance year, which begins
July 1, 2015.
The Highly Erodible Land Conservation and Wetland
Conservation Certification form is available at local USDA service centers or
online at www.fsa.usda.gov/AD1026form.
Completed forms should be taken to the local USDA service
center.
