Major decision deadlines under the 2014 Farm Bill are fast approaching. Farmers and ranchers much decide between the two safety net programs—Price Loss Coverage (PLC) and Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC).
The deadline for base allocation and yield update is Feb. 27, and the ARC and PLC election deadline is March 31, according to the High Plains Journal.
To help farmers make these five-year decisions, several web-based decision aids were developed under a Farm Service Agency grant by the National Association for Agriculture and Food Policy. The decision aids can be found here.
