The Farm Service Agency (FSA) reporting deadline for crop year 2014 is July 15. Participating farmers should contact the Baxter FSA office to schedule an appointment. The Baxter office serves Crow Wing, Cass, Aitkin and Itasca counties.
Filing an accurate acreage report for all crops and land uses, including failed acreage and preventive planting acreage, is required for many FSA programs. CRP (Conservation Reserve Program), NAP (Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program), and commodity loans require yearly acreage reporting. Failure to report acres may result in a loss of benefits. Late fees will be charged for any crop reports filed after the July 15 deadline.
Interested persons may contact the Baxter FSA office at 829-5965 to schedule an appointment.
