Managing for Profit

First safety-net program deadline is Friday

Farm safety-net programs can be vital to a farm’s profitability and sustainability when times are tough.  Farm Service Agency officials are reminding farmers the first of two deadlines for farmers enrolling in the new safety-net programs is this Friday.

Indiana FSA state executive director Julia Wickard says it’s the first time in over 10 years producers have been able to update their yield history and base acres and it’s the first step in enrolling in the new farm safety-net programs.

But the deadline to do so is just around the corner.
