Farm Bill Workshop
November 25 – Chesapeake College, Higher Education Center, Wye Mills, MD
Producers will hear from experts with FSA on the finalized program rules
and signup deadlines for the new commodity programs Agricultural Risk
Coverage (ARC) programs and the Price Loss Coverage (PLC) program and the
new Dairy Margin Protection Program (MPP). Decision tools developed in
partnership with FSA will be highlighted by representatives from the
Department of Ag and Resource Economics. The decision tools are designed
to help producers gain an understanding of how these programs could
potentially manage risks in their operations. USDA-RMA will cover new crop
insurance options, such as Supplemental Coverage Option.
Participants will be provided with an opportunity to utilize the web-based
decision making tools and ask questions to the trainers. The decision
making process in the 2014 Farm Bill is not an easy process, and
understanding how the decision making tools can aid in this decision will
allow the producer to make a better decision for their individual
operation. Producers are highly encouraged to bring past yield histories,
previous planting histories, and base acres for at least one farm to see
how a program would impact your farm. Workshop will run from 9:30 to 3pm
and lunch will be provided.
